Hosted by the American Institute of Architects New York and the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, FitCity is an annual conference that convenes stakeholders across diverse disciplines such as architecture, public health, urban planning, academia, and community development, to champion the role of design in creating healthy neighborhoods.
Since 2006, FitCity has served as a platform for exchanging ideas, informing strategies, and advancing a community of practice around built environment solutions for health.
Against the backdrop of our rapidly changing city, this year’s event will shift focus from projects to processes – the how-to of implementation – by highlighting the integration of human-centered design within three key strategies: data-driven decision-making, community engagement, and finance innovation in healthy housing.
Organized by: AIA New York, AIA Brooklyn and NYC Health
