10,000 Friends undertook this white paper report after a multi-year effort to catalogue the public health, economic, and financial benefits correlated with healthy and walkable communities.  The paper, developed with multiple partners, can provide a clearer understanding of  which areas and redevelopment strategies have the most potential to help Pennsylvania revitalize.  Acting on the recommendations we developed as part of the report, we have created our Healthy & Walkable Communities Initiative to directly assist communities implementing projects to improve health and walkability.
