Research Spotlight: Municipal Policy Makers, Physical Activity, and the Built Environment

Physical activity is critical to public health and its dependence on the built environment is clear. But how can scholars and advocates ensure that cities understand this relationship and implement effective policies? Join us for lunch and a discussion on Tuesday October 20th at 12:00pm at 75 Bay State Road, Boston. Monica Wang of the Boston University School of Public Health will present her research. Anne McHugh, Director of the Chronic Disease Prevention and Control Division at the Boston Public Health Commission, will serve as a respondent.
