Sponsored by the American Planning Association-New Jersey Chapter (APA-NJ) with a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Plan4HealthNJ project is an ambitious multi- year project bridging together public health and comprehensive planning. The first year of the project consisted of creating toolkits connecting land use planning and public health outcomes. In addition to the creation of toolkits, the project also sponsored a graduate studio course at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University. The second year of this project consists of providing New Jersey municipalities with grants and technical assistance to incorporate Public Health into their respective Master Plans, Ordinances and Capital Improvement Programs.
This studio enabled students to collaborate with officials and practitioners to engage in research and beta test ideas for APA-NJ to work with select municipalities to update their master plans, zoning ordinances and capital improvement programs to incorporate public health outcomes.
