The P&S Student Forum on Global Health and Human Rights is excited to present a talk by Richard Plunz, director of the Urban Design Lab, on public health and urban design on New York City.  This talk is co-sponsored with Mailman's Students for Environmental Action (SEA).  The Urban Design Lab (UDL), at the Earth Institute, integrates social processes, education initiatives, technological solutions, and political empowerment to create long-lasting sustainable changes in communities. UDL also provides technical and consultation services to community-based organizations, with the goal of incorporating sustainable alternatives for meeting development needs.  Please see below for details on the event, and the UDL website.
