Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University will host a two-day Symposium on Planning Healthy Sustainable Communities, designed to showcase the research and policy development initiatives undertaken by Bloustein School faculty, staff, students, and alumni in the area of sustainability planning and policy.
The format for this event will be presentation and discussion. Four researchers will each give a 15-20 minute overview of this new research. The second panel will consist of stakeholders asking the researchers questions about what the literature says about various policy initiatives.
