Equipped with data, connections, and boots on the ground, public health professionals are in a prime position to help plan neighborhood redevelopment efforts and ensure their success. New Opportunities for Public Health: Working with Redevelopment highlights ways for public health staff to partner with redevelopment agencies to build healthier communities, exploring strategies to overcome some of the challenges they may face.

This is the sixth episode in our series of 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.
