What We Build, How We Travel.and How We Feel
Lecturer: Dr. Howard Frumkin

Author,
Urban Sprawl and Public Health
The places we live, work and play and how we travel among them affect the character
of our communities, our time with family and friends, and above all, our health.
What kind of choices are we making when it comes to designing our public transportation,
neighborhoods, sidewalks and street lights? How does community design affect
children, working adults and elders?
The Elizabeth Sterling Soule Endowed Lecture was established in 1979 to honor
the founding dean of the UW School of Nursing. It is an annual presentation
featuring prominent nursing and health care leaders, and is supported through
the Elizabeth Sterling Soule Endowed Fund. Support for this year's lecture also
comes from the Dr. Leo John Rosellini Endowment.
