One of Greater Des Moines’ key competitive advantages is a high quality of life. The region is consistently recognized for its affordability, access to the outdoors, and family-friendly atmosphere. However, this way of life is being challenged by impediments to multiple systems, including the area’s car-centered transportation system and decreasing levels of physical activity. For residents, regardless of age or disability, to be able to truly enjoy the high quality of life for which Greater Des Moines is known, health and well-being, in all senses of those terms, need to be actively promoted throughout the region.
