TABLE OF
DEFINING A Revitalizing the College Avenue Corridor to Promote a Healthy Community for Clemson
The World Health Organization defines a healthy city or community as "one that is safe with affordable housing and accessible transportation systems, work for all who want to work, a healthy and safe environment with a sustainable ecosystem, and offers access to health care services which focus on prevention and staying healthy." The healthy community initiative is based on the concept that "health is more than the absence of disease, and, in this context, health is defined broadly to include the full range of quality of life issues."
- Department of Health and Human Services
Defining a Healthy Community?
A Healthy Community is where people come together to make their community better for themselves, their family, their friends, their neighbors, and others. A Healthy Community creates ongoing dialogue, generates leadership opportunities for all, embraces diversity, connects people and resources, fosters a sense of community, and shapes its future.
- The Massachusetts Department of Public Health’s Office of Healthy Communities (2013)
Healthy community design is about planning and designing communities to make it easier for people to live healthy lives. Healthy community design encourages mixed land uses to bring people closer to the places where they live, work, worship, and play. Doing so reduces dependence on cars and provides affordable housing, good bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, space for social gathering, and access to transit, parks, and healthy foods.
- U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2013)

Inviting Walkways are created through the amalgamation of proper pathway materiality, width, shading, lighting, and access to shelter/resting spaces as well as trash dispensers. These elements create walking environments which make a pedestrian feel comfortable and safe as they journey to their destinations.

North Denver Avenue Portland, Oregon Designed by SERA Architects + Greenworks
Traffic Calming uses certain design and management strategies such as traffic circles, changes in pavement color and texture, bulbs-chokers-neckdowns, widening sidewalks/narrowing streets, etc‌ to balance vehicular and pedestrian traffic. This balance allows for safer travel for both cars and people.

Main Street Ann Arbor, Michigan
Big building scale along small streets can be daunting to the human dimension; therefore, strategies such as clear signage, street lamps, tall tree line streets, and alleyways help to break up the larger scale of the building, balancing the proportion of height and width to a comfortable size for pedestrians.
