<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">In this discussion, we explore how the qualities of the places where people live are shaped by historic and current policies, which have created deep disadvantage across many communities with important implications
 for the health and development of the children who live there. Drawing from the salient example of the Flint water crisis, we highlight opportunities and strategies to improve existing conditions to allow all children to thrive.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
