52nd International Making Cities Livable Conference
"Achieving Green Healthy Cities"
CALL FOR PAPERS

Bristol, UK
DEADLINE CLOSED | October 31, 2014
• Bristol City Council
• The Academy of Urbanism
• University of the West of England

At this conference will be examined creative strategies, tools and design solutions for "Achieving Green Healthy Cities". We will review how the built and natural environment can be designed and managed to increase social and physical health and well-being, and to foster ecological, social and economic sustainability. These goals cannot be achieved by professionals in one field alone. They require collaborative efforts and insights from many disciplines such as planning, public health, urban design, architecture, landscape architecture, transportation planning, and social sciences.
