DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday, September 30th, Dr. Richard Jackson, an internationally 
 recognized environmental health expert, will address the East Bay community 
 on matters of public health and the built environment. The lecture is 
 presented by The American Institute of Architects, East Bay at 5:30pm at 
 1405 Clay Street in downtown Oakland.\n\nWhile architects struggle with 
 increased demands and diminished revenues, the nation faces an onslaught of 
 challenges: dramatic increases in diabetes and chronic diseases with 
 crushing health care costs, greenhouse gases on the rise, and species and 
 resources in dramatic decline. Piecemeal efforts will not reverse these 
 threats. In his lecture, “Confronting Crisis, Crash and Collapse: 
 Creating 21st Century Built Environment Solutions for Health, Economy, and 
 Environment” Dr. Jackson will ask how, through the built environment, can 
 we find opportunities to prevent disease and promote physical and mental 
 health?\n \nDr. Jackson has served as chair of the American Academy of 
 Pediatrics Committee on Environmental Health, as the CDC National Center 
 for Environmental Health’s director, and as California’s state health 
 officer. Over the past decade a portion of his work has been on how the 
 'built environment', including architecture and urban planning, affects 
 health. Jackson works on the health impacts of environmental threats, 
 ranging from toxic substances, chemical body burdens, terrorism, loss of 
 resources, destructive farm policies, climate change, and bad urban design. 
  Currently, he is chair of Environmental Health Sciences at UCLA School of 
 Public Health.\n\nTickets are $3 AIA members/$5 public; a reception will 
 follow the lecture and advance registration is required. Please visit
