Fitness and Planning?

The Hartford Courant’s Rick Green wrote in his blog on May 23: “For a change, we're among the best. Here's a list of the metropolitan areas that have score the highest on health and fitness. The Hartford-Middlesex-Tolland county area moves up two notches this year on the American Fitness Index.”

The Hartford metropolitan area is number seven, behind only Minneapolis; Washington, DC; Boston; Portland, OR; Denver; and San Francisco. Does this speak to planning, with perhaps more thought given to bike paths and recreational space?
