Public Health
Cities of Opportunity AK
Cities of Opportunity AK envisions healthy communities driven by local governments that have the tools necessary to support economic development, effectively plan for capital maintenance and growth, navigate social needs, and work with partners to deliver accessible and affordable housing, childcare, education, and health care.
A community’s living conditions are determined by the relative health of all four of these:
- Physical environment – land use, transportation, housing, pollution, recreation
- Social environment – urban/rural, safety, equity, diversity, media, civic engagement
- Economic and work environment – employment, income, retail businesses
- Service environment – education, health care, social services, childcare
