Healthy by Design®. A guide to planning and designing environments for active living in Tasmania aims to assist planners, urban designers and related professionals to design a built environment that enables people to incorporate incidental physical activity-such as walking and cycling for transport-into their daily routine. This resource has wide application to the planning and design of the public realm. It contains discrete chapters on design considerations, evidence, tools and case studies that can be referred to and applied to a variety of settings. The strategies within this reference document apply to Tasmania's urban environments, but also address Tasmania's unique characteristics such as its broad open spaces and hilly topography that influence physical activity on a daily basis.
