WALKING
AND EATING
BY DESIGN

Dr. Anne Vernez Moudon
Professor of Architecture, Landscape Architecture,
and Urban Design and Planning and
Adjunct Professor of Epidemiology and
Civil and Environmental Engineering
University of Washington, Seattle
Director, Urban Form Lab (UFL)

7pm, Thursday March 13, Centre Space, Russell Building

Walking is a popular form of physical activity and people are more active if
they can integrate walking into their daily activities. Living near grocery
stores, restaurants and retail stores increases the amount of walking people
do. Dr. Moudon will talk about how to identify and create neighborhoods that
are walkable, safe, and enjoyable.

Dr. Moudon’s published works include Built for Change: Neighborhood
Architecture in San Francisco (MIT Press 1986), Public Streets for Public
Use (Columbia University Press 1991), and Monitoring Land Supply with
Geographic Information Systems (with M. Hubner, John Wiley & Sons, 2000).
She also published several monographs, such as Master-Planned Communities:
Shaping Exurbs in the 1990 (with B. Wiseman and K.J. Kim, distributed by the
APA Bookstore, 1992) and Urban Design: Reshaping Our Cities (with W. Attoe,
University of Washington, College of Architecture and Urban Planning, 1995).
