Public health – once thought to be the responsibility of scientists and doctors – is now becoming a major crux of urban planning, as a city’s built environment can either foster or limit physical activity.
Rather than offering physical fitness to just Falcons players, the new Atlanta Stadium has the opportunity to be a recreation space for all – as two transit stations and a large expanse of open space are located within a quarter mile.
Will off-days at the stadium be home to 5Ks, CrossFit or yoga? With smart planning, the surrounding community can gather and learn the incredible benefits of exercise.
