Description

Restorative Cities: A New Approach to Urban Design for Mental Health and Wellbeing The way our cities are designed can have a significant impact on our mental health and wellbeing. Overcrowding, noise, air pollution, and long commutes can all take a toll on our mental health. In recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of urban design in supporting our wellbeing. This book explores a new approach to urban design that prioritises mental health and wellbeing, examining strategies such as sensory architecture and place-making for creativity and community. By bringing together evidence-based approaches from fields such as psychiatry, public health, and environmental psychology, Restorative Cities provides a compelling and practical guide for designers, planners, and health practitioners. The book offers insights into how our surroundings can affect us and how we can design cities that support our mental health and wellbeing. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the relationship between urban design and mental health, and is likely to prompt debate and inspire new thinking about the positive potential of design for wellbeing.
