DESCRIPTION:For the first time in history\, more than half the people in lo
 w- and middle-income countries now live in cities. As urbanization continu
 es to accelerate\, particularly in poorer nations\, it is time for a globa
 l commitment to make those cities livable and healthy for their inhabitant
 s.\n\nThe VIII Annual Atlanta Summit on Global Health will explore the the
 me of urban environments and health\, including HIV/AIDS\, non-communicabl
 e and infectious diseases and digital health.\n\nPanel 1: HIV/AIDS in Atla
 nta and other American Cities\n\nAtlanta is home to four of the 48 focus c
 ounties of the President’s ambitious campaign\, “Ending the HIV Epidem
 ic: A Plan for the United States.” How will this plan play out in Altant

 ts of the epidemic?\n\nFeaturing: \n\nRashad Burgess\, Executive Director\
