FEATURING: Dr Anne Vernez Moudon, Professor of Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Urban Design and Planning; Adjunct Professor of Epidemiology and Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Washington, Seattle

ABOUT THE EVENT: Walking, along with bicycling, should be considered the most promising means of travel: it is friendliest to the environment, healthiest for individuals, and cheapest for society. Dr. Moudon will introduce tools developed for transportation planning and for health promotion that help identify where investments in pedestrian infrastructure would enhance safety and be most judicious and effective in getting more people to walk.
