Abstract: This study examines ‘built environment audit’ frameworks currently used in policy responses to the US obesity epidemic. The study considers the degree to which the informational bases of audits are constrained by their underlying definitions of distributive justice, and which of three kinds of audit—utilitarian, general resource, or capability—and which is most appropriate for informing an urban design response to the obesity epidemic.
