APPI Calgary Event - The Value of Integrating Health and Planning

Joyce Tang, BES, MLA, CSLA, RPP, MCIP, Senior Planner, City of Calgary

Murray Lee, MD, MPH, Founding Partner of Habitat Health Impact Consulting

The link between health and lifestyle choices such as diet and exercise is well documented. So too is the relationship between health and the built environment. The way we design our cities has real health impacts. As planners we have the opportunity to create healthy communities at all stages of planning. This session will share how The City of Calgary is changing their approach to new community master planning by sharing the story behind the Nose Creek Area Structure Plan. The Nose Creek Area Structure Plan (ASP) is a statutory planning document that has created a unique planning approach by fully integrating a Health Impact Assessment (HIA) into the document without impacting project timelines or costs. The Project Manager along with the Health Impact Assessment consultant will share about the value of this approach and how the profession can utilize this tool on a variety of project types and scope.
