Events Schedule

The Design for Health (DFH) events covered a broad range of health and urban-design topics designed for individuals working in the fields of urban planning, public health, architecture, and landscape architecture. The workshops offered a research-based and application-oriented discussion of the topics and plan feedback built off that research to address participants’ specific planning proposals and challenges in a solutions-oriented format. National and international experts working in the field of health and urban design led the events.

The DFH event series concluded in September 2007. Click here to view the event presentations; click here to view speaker biographies.
