The built environment has a profound impact on health and well-being, influencing various aspects of our lives. In some neighborhoods, busy roads and constant noise and air pollution create a hazardous environment, posing risks to residents' safety and well-being. In cities, inadequate green spaces for children to play and socialize safely further exacerbate these issues. However, this book argues that it does not have to be this way. By focusing on human health, well-being, and flourishing, this book explores the ways in which the built environment impacts our lives and how we can create, adapt, and design healthy and inclusive places.
The volume delves into the relationship between urban design and human flourishing, initiating broader discussions around relevant questions such as "What is a healthy place?" and "What influences our perceptions of the built environment more: our age or our cultural background?" The book includes six chapters written by internationally renowned authors who aim to unpack key aspects that urban designers need to consider to create places that enable individuals and communities to live rich, fulfilling lives.
This book will be of immense value to students, scholars, and researchers interested in urban design, planning, and exploring how the built environment impacts health and happiness. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Urban Design, further enhancing its significance and authority in the field.
