Interdisciplinary Planning for Health is an interdisciplinary course offered by Columbia University's Urban Planning Program of the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation (GSAPP), the Masters in Public Administration Program of the School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA), and the Department of Sociomedical Sciences of the Mailman School of Public Health (MSPH).

The goal of this course is to provide the ideas and information necessary to integrate environmental viability and sustainable development with other primary concerns of urban planners and public health scientists and practitioners, namely, social justice, human rights, environmental integrity, and health in the broadest sense, to include well-being and quality of life. Improved interdisciplinary education and research is vital if we are to better understand and meaningfully act upon the linkages between transportation, land use, physical activity, and population health.
