Program Information

The Healthy Places program works to create a built environment that encourages walkability, bikeability and physical activity. walking couple

The built environment includes the physical elements added to the natural environment to create the environment in which humans live. Examples include buildings, road systems, parks, neighborhoods, civic buildings, and schools.

The mission of the Healthy Places program is to enhance healthy and active living by establishing development policies and practices and by creating places that foster physical activity as a part of everyday life.  

Columbus Neighborhood Walking Maps Project

Walking maps are being created for neighborhoods throughout the city to add more physical activity to everyday life.  If you do not see a map for your neighborhood and want to help create one, contact the Healthy Places Program.
