The 7th World Congress for Design & Health in Boston, USA will be held from 6-10 July, 2011.
Design & Health has been uniting the fields of architecture, design, the health sciences, economics and psychology for two decades, achieving its ambition to be one of the most significant health development organisations in the world. Its global status is recognised in the organization of the 7th World Congress for Design & Health in Boston from 6-10 July, 2011.
As excitement builds and preparations get underway, delegates can expect a leading-edge scientific programme that will underpin future professional practice in health promotion by design.
As one of the oldest cities in the USA, and the capital of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Boston is considered the economic and cultural centre of the region. With a rich history dating back to 1630, when the Puritan colonists from England founded the city, Boston is now a major shipping port and manufacturing centre. With its many colleges and universities, the city is also a centre for higher education, research and medicine, providing an ideal setting for the 7th Design & Health World Congress.
Delivered in partnership with the leading professional bodies, academic institutions, health providers and industry sponsors, the congress is set to be more influential than ever before. Connecting researchers and practitioners from all over the world, the congress is a chance to engage with the world’s foremost interdisciplinary network of thought leaders, including architects, environmental designers, psychologists, physicians, nurses, health planners, health policy makers and other decision makers.
