Healthy Cities?: Design for Well-Being - Hardcover

by Tim Townshend (Author)

Healthy Cities? explores the ways in which the development of the built environment has contributed to health and well-being problems and how the physical design of the places we live may support, or constrain, healthy lifestyle choices. It sets out how, by understanding these relationships more fully, may lead to policy and practice that reduces health inequalities, increases well-being and allows people to live more flourishing, fulfilling lives.
