SOM to Present at Healthy City Design International

On Tuesday, October 16th, SOM Associates Gareth Edwards and Mina Hasman will speak at the Healthy City Design International Conference in London. Together with research partner Meiring Beyers, of Klimaat Consulting, they will present a case study titled “Designing Healthy High-Density Urban Environments—A Toolkit for Success.”

The three will discuss their research and the development of an assessment methodology and model to inform the early design of building and urban-scale interventions in cities around the world. In reference to the need for ongoing research into healthy cities and high-performance design, Hasman said, “In an environment of rapid climatic and demographic changes, it is crucial we understand the overall impact such changes may have on our cities. This is essential for us as designers to effectively shape the future of our built environment in the healthiest and most sustainable manner.”
