International Conversations Session 1

Session 1: Health Equity: Architecture and the Value of Design

In the first in the series of conversations, we take a deeper look into environmental health equity and the value of architecture and design. The conversation focuses on what role architecture and urban design have in achieving environmental health and well-being, the responsibility of architects and urban planners to address and ensure environmental health, which “tools” and possibilities are available, and how to communicate and argue the value of design in achieving environmental health.
