Nashville, Tennessee, formed Music City Moves (MCM), an interdisciplinary, countywide partnership to implement its vision for the community: a metropolitan region where routine physical activity is a fundamental part of daily life for all residents.
Music City Moves' main focus was the pursuit of changes in community planning policies to help shape Nashville's built environment and facilitate walking and bicycling. To complement this focus, MCM developed a suite of health programs to support physical activity in high-risk populations and a countywide promotional campaign designed to increase awareness and get people active through event participation.
Nashville made considerable strides in improving policies and regulations related to building and site design to improve the built environment for pedestrians and cyclists, including passage of (1) specific plan zoning; (2) revised subdivision regulations that introduced a "walkable subdivision" option for developers; and (3) a community-character manual that will guide future land-use planning. Programs and promotions have increased awareness and participation, and the Tour de Nash bike/walk event showcases yearly changes in the built environment.
Political leadership has been critical to MCM's success. Leadership of the partnership by the planning department facilitated regulatory changes in planning policies.
Music City Moves has accelerated Nashville's movement to improve the built environment and encourage active living. The beneficial impact of policy changes will continue to be manifested in coming years; however, ongoing political support and education of stakeholders in the planning process will be necessary to ensure that planning policies are fully implemented.
田纳西州纳什维尔市成立了“纳什维尔城市行动”（Music City Moves，MCM），这是一个跨学科的全县合作伙伴关系，旨在实现其社区愿景：一个常规体育活动成为所有居民日常生活基本组成部分的大都市区。
Music City Moves 的主要重点是追求社区规划政策的改变，以帮助塑造纳什维尔的建成环境，并促进步行和骑自行车。为了补充这一重点，MCM 开发了一系列健康计划，以支持高风险人群的体育活动，并开展全县范围的宣传活动，旨在通过参与活动来提高意识并让人们积极参与。
纳什维尔在改善与建筑和场地设计相关的政策和法规方面取得了重大进展，以改善行人和自行车骑行者的建成环境，包括通过以下措施实现了这一目标：（1）特定的规划分区；（2）修订分区法规，为开发商引入“可步行的分区”选项；（3）一份社区特色手册，将指导未来的土地利用规划。计划和推广活动提高了人们的意识和参与度，并且“纳什维尔骑行/步行之旅”（Tour de Nash）自行车/步行活动展示了每年建成环境的变化。
政治领导对 MCM 的成功至关重要。规划部门对合作伙伴关系的领导促进了规划政策的监管变化。
“纳什维尔城市行动”加速了纳什维尔改善建成环境和鼓励积极生活的步伐。政策变化的有益影响将在未来几年继续显现；然而，为了确保规划政策得到全面实施，仍需要得到政治支持和对规划过程中利益相关者的教育。
