This Week on Rebuilding Healthier Neighborhoods: San Francisco: A Fresh Approach

Feb 9, 2010

San Francisco: A Fresh Approach shows how redevelopment support was key to attracting a grocery store and transforming a liquor store into a market filled with produce in the city's low-income Bayview Hunters Point neighborhood.

This is the fourth of four podcast stories that show how redevelopment can help make communities healthier. This series, available through HealthyPlanning.org or iTunes, brings to life how the redevelopment process helped advance public health, improving local air quality and making parks and healthy food more accessible.
