Healthy Spaces for All Summit Opening - Scaling Health Spaces for All
Tuesday, November 4, 2025 8:30 AM to 9:15 AM · 45 min. (US/Pacific)
Information
Dr. Matthew Trowbridge will open the summit by charting the remarkable evolution at the intersection of green building and public health over the past 15 years. From establishing the fundamental link between built environments and health outcomes, to developing frameworks for implementation, the field has now reached a critical inflection point. His remarks will challenge attendees to move beyond proof-of-concept toward scaled implementation, emphasizing that the question is no longer "why" or "how" to create healthy spaces, but rather how to ensure these practices become standard across all projects and communities.
