THE IMPORTANCE OF BUILT ENVIRONMENT TO THE COMMUNITY
The built environment may help to promote a feeling of community by allowing people to connect with each other, nature and other settings on a daily other settings on a daily basis. This contact takes place in streets and public areas that are secure, accessible to all, culturally relevant and visually attractive. The physical environment may assist orderly social interaction by reducing ambiguity in expectations and teaching communities about behavioral standards, in addiction to its influence on real urban form.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BUILT ENVIRONMENT TO THE PEOPLE
The built environment has an impact on people's health, especially when it comes to chronic disorders. There is strong evidence that a healthy lifestyle, appropriate diet and less exposure to hazardous circumstances can lower the burden of chronic illness in the community. Many urban and suburban surroundings, on the other hand, are now well structured to encourage healthy habits or generate healthy circumstances. Health authorities can give knowledge about healthy living, but people's health will suffer if they live in poorly constructed physical surroundings.
THE IMPORTANCE OF BUILT ENVIRONMENT TO THE NATION
Governments have the option of allocating money to develop or promote a healthier and safer built environment. For example, the government may encourage physical exercise by strategically placing and constructing public facilities to facilitate pedestrian access, as well as allocating appropriate financing for suitable sidewalks, cycling lanes, and streetscapes. It has the ability to acquire open land for recreational purposes as well as environmental preservation. Some unhealthful features of the built environment can be exacerbated by government investment. Roads can be built with a focus on car speed and little regard for pedestrian safety or comfort. Many state reimbursement rules for local school construction promote new construction over renovation, which can lead to community degradation and encourage sprawl.
