Announcing A Special Celebrity Edition of "Ask Strong Towns" with Dan Burden of Blue Zones

Dan Burden knows a thing or ten about creating healthier communities. Burden has been a pioneer in innovative transportation planning for over 40 years. He served as Florida's first state bicycle and pedestrian coordinator, co-founded Walkable Communities, Inc., and today is the Director of Innovation and Inspiration at Blue Zones.

Blue Zones is a multifaceted organization that work to help people live longer, better lives by improving their environment.

Burden is an expert on how our neighborhoods—and the choices we make about their design—affect our health.
