Women’s Health is the Community’s Health:
Impacting Women’s Lives in Urban Places
September 9-11, 2007

Women’s issues might be discussed solely in terms of women’s reproductive capacity or broadly conceived as an under recognized economic force. Urbanism can involve city planning and design of spaces and architectural connectivity and increasingly discussed as the interconnectivity among human made structures and human use.

As scholars, we recognize that only through greater understanding of one another’s work in health, women’s issues, and urbanism, can we coalesce the challenges, forces, and strive to enlighten and inform ourselves and society.
