INVITATION TO EXHIBIT: Successful Designs for Reshaping Suburbia
INVITATION TO EXHIBIT
Successful Designs for Reshaping Suburbia
50th IMCL Conference on
Reshaping Suburbia into Complete Healthy Communities
Governor Hotel, Portland, OR
June 23-27, 2013
Sprawling and fragmented suburbs where distances are too great and streets are too dangerous have significantly contributed to our massive problems of obesity, chronic physical ill health, social isolation, violence and crime. We must act now to adopt healthy, equitable planning practices for Reshaping Suburbia. This is the most critical challenge we now face in making our cities healthy and livable.
The good news is that some of the most exciting urban design projects today - transformations of shopping malls into mixed use town centers, transit-oriented infill development, neighborhood plazas, green streets and green playgrounds - are taking place in the suburbs.
