The Tool
The Healthy Development Measurement Tool is comprised of a set of metrics to evaluate the extent to which land use plans, projects, or policies will advance human health. The Tool is organized into:
- Six Elements that comprise a Healthy City.
- Community Health Objectives that, if achieved, would result in greater and more equitable health assets and resources for San Francisco residents.
- Health-based Rationales that describe the nexus between the objective and physical and mental health.
- Measurable Indicators and Baseline Data to help evaluate progress towards the objectives and evaluate the benefits of projects, plans, and policies.
- Development Targets that, if achieved by a project or plan, are a proxy for improvement of an indicator.
- Policy and Design Strategies to support the achievement of development targets.
