Presented by Wagner Policy Alliance (WPA).



We invite panelists to discuss how urban planning and design, policies, and management play a role in the health and well-being of city residents. From public space, to bike lanes, to quality healthcare, this panel will explore what it takes to implement initiatives, how each facet plays a role, and what more can be done. Join us for a discussion on how we as management, policy, health, and planning students can use existing resources and pave new avenues to create healthy cities.

Our Panelists:

Michael Schnall, Vice President of Community Engagement Initiatives at New York Road Runners;

Adrian Benepe, Former NYC Parks Commissioner and SVP of city park development for The Trust for Public Land;

Dr. Jordan Metzl, Orthopedic Physician at Hospital for Special Surgery, best selling author, and fitness instructor;
