Healthy People/Healthy Places

Catalog description

In Healthy People/Healthy Places we will explore the role of space and place in the social construction of health. Pulling from the urban planning, geography and public health literatures, we will explore the role of the built environment in shaping individual and community health. We will explore questions behind why, and how, some groups of people die, or are injured, at greater rates than others and the role that planning and broader spatial policy play in these outcomes.
