- The LEED for Neighborhood Development Public Health Report comprehensively summarizes the relationship between how our communities are built and a series of public health outcomes such as physical activity, traffic crashes, respiratory health and mental health. This is one of the first reports that not only summarizes the impact of the built environment on public health topics but also discusses how this information can be translated into positive changes to the built environment.
