How can investments in the built environment advance obesity
solutions?*September
12*, join the Roundtable on Obesity Solutions for a workshop that will
explore the roles built environment policies and practices play in the
prevention and treatment of obesity and will highlight promising, scalable,
multi-sector strategies to create more healthful and equitable
environments. Built environment topics that will be covered include urban
planning and design, transportation systems, parks and recreation, and food
systems. Register to attend either in person or via webcast. Due to seating
capacity, in-person registration for this workshop is limited.

Many U.S. colleges combine health and urban design into degree tracks.
One example is the University of Michigan’s Taubman College of
Architecture and Urban Planning, where students are encouraged to seek a
Graduate Certificate in Healthy Cities.
<https://taubmancollege.umich.edu/urbanplanning/degrees/graduate-certificate…>
The certificate provides them with the “language, skills and
competencies needed to engage in cross-disciplinary collaborations among
public health workers, policy makers and city planners to promote human
health in urban contexts,”

Dear Professor Brugge,
I am pleased to let you know that the Special Issue website has been set
up and can be accessed at
http://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijerph/special_issues/Transportation-Related_Ai…
We also post this on our Twitter:
https://twitter.com/IJERPH_MDPI/status/940863161821028354
It would be nice if you could post an announcement of the Special Issue
on relevant mailing lists that you already follow, or you can click on
the icon on the website to share the Special Issue with social media
such as Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook or Google-Plus. That will help
attract more potential authors.
I attached the flyer and three slides of PPT and appreciate if you could
promote or distribute it in related conference. Besides, are you going
to attend any meetings?
I will then prepare a list of invitees to distribute a wider
announcement for calling papers. The list will be sent to you for check
shortly. You and your colleagues are welcome to contribute.
Please let me know should you have any further questions.
Kind regards,
Ms. Gina Liu
