Dr. Richard Jackson has been a leading voice and calling for improving America's built environment in the name of public health for well over a generation. His story is incredible having worked with children experiencing communicable diseases initially, to then witness the rise in Type II Diabetes sky rocket among our youth, which propelled him into action. He has been a strong leader for chaning how planners, developers, and decision makers think about how we build our communitites and we were thrilled to sit down with him for a chat.
