Peak Town Square

Public Space Design for Public Health Equity


Listen Later

What needs to change to make our city center safe and healthy for all? The upheavals of 2020 highlighted long-standing inequities in how public space serves public health. Dr. Keshia Pollack Porter’s research focuses on tactics to center equity and public health in how we address public spaces, promoting safe and healthy environments where people live, work, play and travel.

This presentation was moderated by Susan Edmondson, executive director of the Downtown Partnership, with Q&A assistance from Tilah Larson, of Colorado Springs Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services.

This is the fourth and final event in the 2021 City Center Series hosted by the Downtown Partnership of Colorado Springs. It was presented live, virtually, on April 14, 2021, and sponsored by the Council of Neighbors and Organizations (CONO).
