Abstract

In 2006, with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Active Living Research program, researchers at Columbia University sampled 588 block faces in New York City and sent a team of observers to collect data on these locations using the Maryland Inventory of Urban Design Qualities (MIUDQ) protocol. The study was conceived and carried out by Columbia’s Built Environment and Health (BEH) group, an interdisciplinary group of researchers who study the ways that neighborhood physical and social environments shape health behaviors and outcomes.1 To our knowledge, this is the largest-scale implementation of the MIUDQ instrument that has been conducted so far.
