CHSP 5th Annual Conference: 鈥淥ur City, Our Health: A Conference on Urbanization and its Health Effects.鈥

Saturday, March 19, 2016
SSMU Ballroom, 3600 rue McTavish, Montreal, QC, CA

In the past decades, our world has greatly changed. The social force of urbanization has created an environment that is more connected, stratified, and prone to health hazards. The world is flatter than ever: you can wake up in Tokyo and go to bed in San Francisco. During this time, we鈥檝e seen a tremendous advancement in technology and quality of life, however all is not rainbows and sunshine. With metropoles being built and developed all over the globe, health risks can be attributed to an insurgence in the capability of spread of infectious diseases and a continuous increase in air pollution. How have the historical and modern development of cities shaped our health? How has our healthcare system responded to protect us from these changes? And finally, how can we develop clean and sustainable practices to reduce the incidence of diseases within the context of modern urbanization?

平特五不中 is located on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous Peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg Nations. 平特五不中 honours, recognizes, and respects these nations as the traditional stewards of the lands and waters on which peoples of the world now gather. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous Peoples from across Turtle Island. We are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
