Designing future cities for wellbeing / edited by Christopher T. Boyko, Rachel Cooper and Nick Dunn. - 1 online resource

"Designing Future Cities for Wellbeing 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. It aims to demonstrate that cities are a complex interplay of these various dimensions that both shape, and are shaped by, existing and emerging city structures, governance, design and planning. Explaining how to consider these interconnecting dimensions in the way in which professionals and citizens think about and design the city for future generations' health and wellbeing, therefore, is key.

This book will be of great interest to researchers and students in planning, public policy, public health, and design"--
