Therefore, Houston provided an excellent site for a regional meeting on the relationship between environment and health. The purpose of this workshop in Houston was to bring all the stakeholders together - the private and public sector, along with representatives of the diverse communities in Houston - to discuss the impact of the natural, built, and social environments on human health. Rebuilding the Unity of Health and the Environment summarizes the presentations and discussions of this workshop. The lessons one may draw from this meeting's presentations and discussions apply to other regions that are undergoing similar changes and that must also contend, as does Houston, with the legacies of insufficient planning, environmentally deficient planning, or sometimes, no planning at all. 606 $aEnvironmental health$zTexas$zHouston Metropolitan Area 606 $aPublic health$zTexas$zHouston Metropolitan Area 615 0$aEnvironmental health 615 0$aPublic health 676 $a362.109764 700 $aJones$b Lovell A$01810690 701 $aPorretto$b John$01810691 701 $aCoussens$b Christine$01804930 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bRoundtable on Environmental Health Sciences, Research, and Medicine. 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bBoard on Health Sciences Policy. 712 12$aRoundtable on Environmental Health Sciences, Research, and Medicine 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970404503321 996 $aRebuilding the unity of health and the environment$94362107 997 $aUNINA
