Healthy Planning Policies A Compendium from California General Plans (USA)

This 2009 document, developed by Planning for Healthy Places, a program of Public Health Law & Policy (PHLP), is a compilation of healthy planning policies used California.

The policies in this compilation are grouped into two main categories traditional and innovative. “Traditional” planning topics are those commonly found in land use plans that may not always carry an explicit connection to health. “Innovative” topics are relatively novel in land use planning and usually make explicit references to health. 

This compilation reflects a growing diversity of strategies for integrating health into planning, but these examples are still probably best considered the work of “early adopters.” By sharing them more broadly, we hope to spur innovation and emerging best practices in the integration of health into land use policy.
