Fast growth, healthy growth

Does urban design stop us from being physically active? Can better zoning prevent air pollution? Is a car culture inevitable in the 21st century? Should we be concerned that cities are making us unhealthy?

Halifax is growing. Its population is forecast to grow from 370,000 today to 450,000 by 2020. Find out how to make sure growth is healthy from some of Canada's top researchers and experts in the area.

Join us for discussion, debate and refreshments. This free event is presented by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and organized by the Institute of Population and Public Health.
