Our genetic makeup, our clinical medical systems, and our lifestyles all influence our health.
To a large extent, those are beyond the control of local government.
Our built environment, however, has an equally important effect on our health, and very
much in the purview of local government. Does our environment encourage us to walk,
bicycle, or drive, to exercise or not. These are our responsibilities.
