Restorative Cities: urban design for mental health and wellbeing
Autor Jenny Roe, Layla McCayen Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 aug 2021
Restorative Cities explores a new way of designing cities, one which places mental health and wellness at the forefront. Establishing a blueprint for urban design for mental health, it examines a range of strategies - from sensory architecture to place-making for creativity and community - and brings a genuinely evidence-based approach that will appeal to designers and planners, health practitioners and researchers alike - and provide compelling insights for anyone who cares about how our surroundings affect us. Written by a psychiatrist and public health specialist, and an environmental psychologist with extensive experience of architectural practice, this much-needed work will prompt debate and inspire built environment students and professionals to think more about the positive potential of their designs for mental well-being.

Recenzii
[A]n inspiring, educational, and succinct tour of the intersection of applied psychology, urban planning and design, and public health ... Restorative Cities: Urban Design for Mental Health and Wellbeing is both prudent and empowering ... Readers of the book are left with what feels like an accessible and modern handbook about how to envision and create humane urban settings that tend to the many psychosocial factors that matter now - and will for generations to come.
A welcome, timely and important addition to the existing healthy urban planning literature ... Restorative Cities provides the evidence, the inspiration and a call to action. Now we have to act.
More than ever, we need the places where we live, work and play to support our mental health. For those creating the built environment, Restorative Cities offers deep health expertise translated into the practical strategies that respond to today's demand for cities that prioritise their residents' health.
Post-Covid 19, cities must be equitable and sustainable, and people should live more healthily and happily. Restorative Cities shows how we can do this, by focussing urbanism on mental health and wellbeing.
Timely ... A useful contribution to the interdisciplinary nature of urban design.

Caracteristici
Each chapter presents, first, the theoretical framework that underpins a particular theme - green spaces; urban water settings; city smells, tastes and sounds; neighbourbood relations; physical health and exercise; play; inclusivity - followed by the empirical evidence that supports a relationship between that theme and mental health outcomes, and then offers broad-brush design guidelines at both a community level and a larger-scale city level
