Abstract in brief
- The built environment refers to human-made surroundings like buildings, parks, and transportation systems that impact our daily lives and health.
- A well-designed built environment can promote healthier lifestyles by encouraging physical activity, reducing pollution, and improving access to healthcare.
- Conversely, poorly planned environments can contribute to health issues such as obesity, respiratory problems, and mental health challenges.]
