Nashville Mayor Megan Barry announced a new healthy living program called "Shaping the Healthy Community: The Nashville Plan."
She introduced the plan at an even Wednesday night. She and officials with the Nashville Civic Design Center hope it will encourage people to make healthy lifestyle choices.
The plan takes an in-depth look at the city and habits residents can break to become a healthier Nashville.
"The book has a lot of images, photographs, maps and design concepts, strategies and policy recommendations for how we can create a healthier city through designing the built environment in ways that make us healthier every day,” said Gary Gaston with the Nashville Civic Design Center.
The book also includes a checklist to see what healthy choices can be made to help improve our area.
