The Urban Health Symposium is one of the signature events at the Urban Health Collaborative (UHC) at Drexel University’s Dornsife School of Public Health (DSPH), along with the center’s Urban Health Summer Institute.
It brings together researchers, practitioners, and policy makers focused on health in cities to energize work on urban places and health, generate novel ideas for research, and stimulate debate on policy implications. Participants reflect critically on the links between urban environments and health, identify new opportunities for research, and consider recommendations for community action and policy.
Please also consider joining us for our free Pre-Symposium event, “Climate Change and Urban Health: A Focus on the Future,” hosted by our partners at The Drexel Climate Change and Urban Health Research Center on Wednesday, September 3rd, 2025.
