Dr. Howard Frumkin of Emory University will present his recently published research on the impacts of urban sprawl on public health. He will discuss the statistical evidence of the effects air pollution, heat, physical activity patterns, motor vehicle crashes, pedestrian injuries and fatalities, water quality and quantity, mental health, and social capital. The audience is invited to bring solutions and positive examples and case studies to the Roundtable during Question and Answer time.
