CHCC Speakers' Forum 2010
On April 22, 2010 the California Healthy Cities and Communities Program held its first ever speakers’ forum highlighting the work of Jason Corburn, Ph.D., M.C.P.Associate Professor in the Department of City and Regional Planning at the University of California Berkeley. The forum allowed for greater interaction between speakers and audience members in a more personal setting.
Dr. Corburn discussed his work bridging planning and public health and highlighted his new book Toward the Healthy City: People, Places, and the Politics of Urban Planning. His research and practice focuses on the connections between city planning, public participation and population health in urban areas across the United States and in cities around the world.
Following Dr. Corburn’s presentation, was a reaction panel including the following:
- Rajiv Bhatia, M.D., M.P.H.Director of Occupational and Environmental Health, San Francisco Department of Public Health;
- Jeff Ritterman, M.D. Vice Mayor, City of Richmond, CA and Chief of Cardiology, Kaiser Richmond Medical Center;
- Joan Twiss, M.A. Executive Director, Center for Civic Partnerships, Public Health Institute; and
- Diane Aranda, M.P.A.Program Officer for Richmond, The California Endowment (moderator).
Panelist described their work and how it related not only to Dr. Corburn’s work but to the greater topic of moving toward a healthy city. Audience participation was encouraged throughout the reaction panel presentation and a networking lunch aloud for more in depth conversations for all those who attended the event.
