About this Event

While higher-density cities have accelerated the pace of innovation, engineering, and energy-efficiency, they can also accelerate the spread of infectious disease. How is public health integrated with urban planning? What policies and design features can help prevent the next pandemic from occurring? How can health and wellness be integrated into our lives beyond doctor’s visits and dentist appointments?
