Recenzii
"This deeply informative book addresses the single issue of wellbeing within the complex environment of the city. In doing so it reveals, one elegant chapter at a time, how human lives are impacted by systems of urban systems: including mobility, infrastructure, the built and natural environment, industry and culture. In calling for better data and better tools to understand the interdependencies that influence wellbeing, the authors quite correctly place the importance of caring for the way we live in cities alongside the urgency of the climate emergency." - Tim Stonor, Space Syntax
"The chapters gathered for Designing future cities provide important insights into how an individual’s health and wellbeing are shaped by a diverse array of issues ranging from urban density, transport and walkability, to access to nature, culture and food." - Laura Vaughan, Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London, UK
"Wellbeing is perhaps the most important hidden issue of our time. It features neither in the business models that guide city investments, nor adequately in sustainability and resilience debates, yet it largely determines our quality of life. This book helps rebalance the discourse on 21st Century city development and should be required reading for urban professionals." - Professor Chris Rogers, University of Birmingham, UK

Descriere
This book draws on original research bringing together dimensions of cities we know have a bearing on our health and wellbeing--including transportation, housing, energy, and foodways--and illustrates the role of design in delivering cities in the future that can enhance our health and wellbeing.
