National Corridors Inc. - Urban Pathways Conference

Over the course of 2 days, transportation, public health, and urban planning professionals will gather in New Orleans to explore key strategies for building effective partnerships to catalyze the development of healthy, walkable neighborhoods, to restore and rebuild communities. Urban Pathways to Livable Communities will bring together key partners from the Public Health, Smart Growth, and Urban Transportation communities in a series of sessions that examine implementation of livable communities from multiple angles. The conference will bring together both local and national experts to engage the issue of livable communities from the streets of New Orleans to the hallways of Capitol Hill.

Urban Pathways to Livable Communities is hosted by the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, University of New Orleans Transportation Institute, Harvard School of Public Health, and the Tulane University Prevention Research Center, and is supported and endorsed by The National Corridors Initiative. Join us in New Orleans February 25 and 26, 2010. For registration information and conference updates, email your name, address, and contact information to: webmaster@nationalcorridors.org
