Designing Healthier Cities: A Talk by Dr Ann Vernez Moudon

  • 2017年5月9日
  • 18:30 - 21:00
  • naked Hub @长寿路, 上海

The environments in which people live, work and play is related deeply to their health. Urban design can influence not only what people breathe, but also how active, relaxed, or depressed they are, and what they eat. 

Many cities, including Seoul, Paris, and New York, are aiming to improve people’s health through design. Key strategies, all of which require enlightened political leadership, include reining in the number of fossil fueled vehicles, and planting trees.

Dr Moudon's talk will feature several case studies on her work on the above topics including years of experience consulting various organizations and lecturing at number of institutions.
