Reimagining Health in Cities: From Local to Global
2017 Urban Health Symposium
A symposium hosted by the Drexel University School of Public Health
Date: Thursday and Friday, September 7 & 8, 2017
The symposium brought together researchers, practitioners, and policy makers focused on health in cities to energize work on urban places and health, generate novel ideas for research, and stimulate debate on policy implications. Participants will reflect critically on the links between urban environments and health, identify new opportunities for research (including novel data and methodological approaches), and consider implications for community action and policy.
