Case Studies
Case studies are an accessible way to report on the many health-promoting successes happening across our state. These studies are part of a statewide inventory of plans, policies and improvements to the built environment, which promote healthier and more active lifestyles. Focusing primarily on Tennessee’s rural communities, studies were compiled highlighting topics such as master plans, corridor studies, sidewalk improvements, multi-modal access and even a community kitchen. Case studies are listed alphabetically by city name and in PDF format available for download by clicking on the topic.
