Desarrollo/Creación de una Comunidad Sana


Explanation:

Evitaría el gerundio.
Entiendo que se refiere a comunidades pequeñas, que se agrupan para enfrentar enfermedades crónicas. Adivinando, me gustaría leer más sobre el contexto.

building a healthy community
construcción de una comunidad sana


Explanation:
Hay que ver la frase en su contexto. En este caso el verbo "build" (building) nos da la idea de "construcción, creación, establecimiento o el sentar las bases para el desarrollo de una comunidad sana.

building a healthy community
Cómo construir una comunidad saludable


Explanation:
Si se trata del título de un artículo, no creo que el gerundio sea adecuado ya que es propio del inglés en estos casos. Nosotros tendemos a utilizar un sustantivo, una frase norminal, infinitivo o bien la contrustrución de "cómo ...."
En cuanto a lo que comentaban los colegas, habría que ver el contexto para ver a qué se refiere con "building", es decir, el sentido que se le da.
