The School Zone and Nutrition: Courses of Action for the Municipal Sector
The first part of this guide is devoted to the definition of environments favourable to healthy lifestyles, with particular interest for built environments in proximity to schools. The second part focuses on land use regulation near schools. From both legal and urbanistic points of view, municipalities are fully empowered to consider health and well-being objectives for their populations, all within the framework of applying zoning regulations.
