Gamble Associates presents at the National American Planning Conference

Gamble Associates presents at the National American Planning Conference: May 2009 Medical campuses grow at alarming rates. They are constantly under pressure to create facilities that allow them to stay competitive in a dynamic marketplace. This growth, embraced and supported by local government, often comes at the expense of the social and physical environment surrounding the medical area. As the health care industry continues to expand, recognition that their host environments become or remain vital is increasingly important.

Case studies of three nationally-known medical campuses (Longwood Medical Area: Boston, John Hopkins: Baltimore and the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus: Buffalo) highlight best practices and what these innovative institutions – all located in dense, urban environments – are doing to become better neighbors. David Gamble presented this session together with Kathryn Madden, AICP (Madden Planning Group) and Michael Ball, AICP Director of Planning at the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus.
