New Publication in Frontiers in Public Health

I co-authored an article in Frontiers in Public Health entitled “Descriptive analysis of municipal policies addressing shade in eight southwest and northeast states in the United States” led by Dr. David Buller. We assessed the municipal codes, planning documents, and manuals/guidelines from n=48 municipalities in eight states across the northeastern and southwestern U.S. We found that many municipalities had policies that mentioned shade, but only a few had policies that indicated their purpose was sun or heat protection.
