Four of the most preeminent global visionaries and leaders in the field of design and health are set to share the same platform during the opening session of next year’s 7th Design & Health World Congress and Exhibition in Boston, USA.
Anticipation of the congress is already growing with a year still to go, following the news that Dr Julio Frenk, dean of the faculty at the Harvard School of Public Health, Mohsen Mostafavi, dean of the Harvard Graduate School of Design, and Richard Joseph Jackson, professor and chair of Environmental Health Sciences at the School of Public Health, University of California, are set to take to the stage in an opening session chaired by Lord Nigel Crisp, former CEO of the National Health Service in England and a member of the House of Lords.
The announcement follows the publication of the preliminary programme of the congress, which will be held at the Boston Marriott Copley Place Hotel, from 6-10 July 2011. With up to 2,000 delegates from 80 different countries worldwide expected to attend, supported by over 100 exhibitors, the event is set to have a significant political as well as professional impact on future infrastructure development in the USA and beyond.

Professor Alan Dilani comments: “At a time of rapid upheaval in healthcare systems in the USA, the UK, Australia and many other areas of the world, the commitment of four leaders of such outstanding pedigree demonstrates the importance that is being attached to the relationship between design, architecture and the health of our future society.”
