Oregon Public Health to planners: ‘human health simply cannot be sustained in an unhealthy environment’
Letter to Oregon Department of Planning and Development: “There is a dangerous disconnect between land use planning and development on one hand and population-based health on the other that can be remedied by recognizing and utilizing the specialized expertise Public Health provides. … Biology dictates that human health simply cannot be sustained in an unhealthy environment, and the use of our land – in urban, suburban, exurban, rural and frontier settings alike – is one of the most powerful determinants of our environmental health.” (Comment from a planner: “challenging comments… I’ve never seen anything like it before.”)
