Creating Health-Promoting Eco-Cities: How do we measure our progress?
Organisée par l’Agence de santé publique du Canada et la Fondation des maladies du cœur
As we work across-sectors to create more health-promoting environments, how do we measure our progress? How do we know we have reached our goals? This workshop provides Summit delegates with an overview of the linkages between health, the built environment and sustainability, with an emphasis on indicators. The program addresses the challenges and facilitators around the application of health and built environment indicators not only from the perspective of professional experts and researchers, but also from the community sector exploring these new grounds of work. Keynote and panel presentations are integrated to ongoing facilitated dialogue between presenters and participants, in order to maximize the exchange of ideas, promising practices and perspectives. The event intentionally builds on recent pan-Canadian events in this field including the workshop, “Indicators for Measuring the Health Impact of the Built Environment” (October 2010), and the workshop, “Sharing Knowledge – Building Links – Advancing Research, Policy and Practice on the Built Environment,” (March 2011).
Invited Speakers:
• Karen Lee, Director, Built Environment, New York City; and Associate Clinical Professor, WHO Collaborating Center for Non-Communicable Disease Policy, University of Alberta School of Public Health;
• Kim Bergeron, PhD Candidate, Health Studies, Queens University;
• Alex Taranu, Manager, Urban Design, City of Brampton;
• Annie Rochette, Project Coordinator, Montreal Urban Ecology Centre;
• Ismaël Hautecoeur, Project Coordinator, Jardins sur les toits;
• David Mowat, Medical Officer of Health, Peel Region, and Chair, Built Environment Working Group, Urban Public Health Network.
Moreover, selected representatives from PHAC-funded Strategic Initiative (SI) projects will be at the session to briefly present their SI project and contribute to a lively debate.
