BREAKOUT SESSION E
Housing and the Built Environment: The Key to Thriving Communities
Public health approaches to the built environment provide an integrated framework for growth, development, and community design. Focusing on the dynamics between community development and health, this session will move us from an understanding of the historical and current policies and structural barriers to health within Charlotte's built environment to an authentic community-engaged framework for action toward equitable policies and health outcomes for all.
