In this t alk\, he will explore relationships between two physical determinants of health\, cannabis dispensaries and food stores\, to illustrate ways land use and municipal policy might be employed to address spatial disparities and improve the well-being of communities. While public health and plann ing researchers and practitioners acknowledge the importance of context\, there is still inadequate understanding about how\, when\, where\, and f or whom the built environment affects health outcomes.\n\n\nDr. Lowery is an associate professor of planning\, landscape architecture and design a t the University of Oklahoma Gibbs College of Architecture. He teaches ge ographic information systems for land use planning\, land use planning an d public policy for cannabis\, public health and the built environment\, and urban design theory. He researches environmental and socioeconomic in fluences of neighborhood well-being as well as land use and municipal pol icies that aim to improve community health. He is particularly intersted in two areas of inquiry: undertanding how availability and access to sour ces of healthy and unhealthy food contribute to diet related disease and exploring how the spatial arrangement of cannabis dispensaries and advert ising influence health related behavior.
