The first Physical Fitness of Cities symposium, held February 1-3,2002, 

 

provided a significant inquiry and dialogue into best practices in city building.

 

Professionals whose lives are devoted to shaping cities convened the meeting

 

around the themes of "Vision and Ethics in City Building".  

 

Symposium  presenters addressed a broad range of social, political,

 

economic, technical and aesthetic issues related to design.   The event

 

provided a thoughtful forum for local, regional, national and international foci

 

for the creation of healthy, sustainable, livable places.

  

Presenters and attendees were from the fields of architecture, urban design,

 

landscape architecture, government, engineering, transportation, ecology, ethics 

 

and the arts.  

 

The symposium was developed with the support of the Utah Humanities

 

Council and the Wallace Stegner Center for Land, Resources & the

 

Environment at the University of Utah College of Law.
