we are also pointing out the fact that not all communities in america are walkable.hen you look at communities of color in particular, folks tend to live in neighborhoods which don't have adequate sidewalks. >> you mean work with the cities to help make sidewalks more walkable, things like that? dr. murthy: if you want to build a culture of prevention, which is my goal, we have to engage all sectors. if you want to make america walkable -- >> getting and persuading someone to get screening is another. you have to get them into a hospital to go see a doctor. you need to let them know that that is actually something that is covered under the affordable care act or something like that. how do you provide that education service? dr. murthy: by empowering leaders and communities to share information. i don't want to underestimate the power that community organizations have. you have to change infrastructure. one thing that we have seen in pockets around the country is that when local governments, parental organizations, schools, come together, they can change things on th

they cited changes in walkable spaces and lighting as the reason for that.bout thing i would argue is the issue of sleep. huge deprivation is a problem appeared one, how many hours per night. a half toge six and seven and a half hours per night. >> not enough. there needs to be a massive social shift to get people to rest earlier and sleep more. do you feel like that is part of your mission as well? >> yes. health is deeply intertwined with culture, what we eat, how active are, how much we sleep. when i was training in medicine, there was a culture in medicine that strong people did not need sleep. the less you slept, the more you powered through a tough night, the stronger you were. that is not helpful to have a culture that supports unhealthy practices. we are talking about shifting culture. >> especially with the drowsy driving as a huge problem. in training, there were studies that looked at the impact of sleep deprivation on medical errors, and they found out that when they were sleep deprived, they made more mistakes. >> e-cigarettes? more complicated,

the next question is, given the expansion of the bay area in california, how can the walkability and bikeability be increased, especially with the car-centric infrastructure choices made years ago? ben: this is something that spur is working on quite a bit in san jose, and we started working on that very deliberately, partially because it is the largest city in the bay area both by area and population, but also because the problems of san jose, which was largely built in the postwar period around the automobile, is this strange area compared to most places. it turns out to be a very, very difficult problem to achieve what we call the retrofitting of suburbia. if you build a place around a car, you didn't just build a place around the car, you also built markets around automobility, and if you look into all these factors that shape and build an environment. so if you are going to turn it around, it takes a real and sustained engagement on all of those different fronts. i think one of the sort of weaknesses of traditional planning and urban design is to show a picture of what a good wa

we had a great network of walkable streets, right? really wonderful street networks but that does not mean that we had a lot of people writing the buses and trains or people walking on the streets. one of things that became clear to us was with these competitive advantages, having these assets, we could really do a lot more with them. we really began to see transportation and the choices we could bring to the city as an even greater source of comparative advantages. i have a number of graduate students and the audiences and i heard them talking before our program began about how rough it is to graduate from college with so much college debt. we have a dozen colleges and universities in washington and 80 more higher institutions for learning, so the strategy in d.c. was to see what we could do to retain the students who got educated in the city and what we could do to attract more college students to be there? we thought if we could make transportation really inexpensive and so that people could it around and meet every daily need, tha

cities, you get in dense, walkable neighborhoods; you get higher ridership. >> reporter: he believes light rail has been a catalyst to downtown development, with $8 billion of projects along a 7.5-mile stretch of track. for example, look at the neighborhood of midtown in the heart of houston. across from the light rail station there's a mixed-use development under construction with 363 apartments and 30,000 square feet of retail space. >> this isn't some empty field on the outskirts of town that gets a new development; it's a neighborhood like this. we're seeing a real shift in the kind of places people want to live in. neighborhoods that have not just homes but places to eat and places to shop are fun to live in. i mean, there's a real change in the attitude toward cities. >> reporter: dallas is now trying to build a new line through downtown and asking for federal funds to help pay for it. dart chief gary thomas says turning car-centric dallas into a mass transit mecca is still a work in progress. is light rail being utilized the way it should be? >> you have to start somewhere. yo
