Over many years there are great examples of redevelopment sites that have gone “good” when public health professionals have been involved early and often in the process and examples of sites that went from “bad” to truly “ugly” when public health professionals were not involved. The presentation will focus on how the involvement of public health professionals could have helped change the bad and the ugly sites into the good.

Learning Objectives:

Recognize the issues and problems that characterize redevelopment sites that went "bad

Recognize the characteristics ofthe "good" sites and how public health involvement helped the process go smoothly.
