978-1-915722-26-3 (ISBN)
How can we design cities that radically improve our health and accelerate economic growth?
The need for bold solutions and innovative commercial strategies has never been greater. Cities face mounting, converging challenges: climate change, economic recovery, spiralling debt and ageing populations.
To address these issues, urban leaders must find ways to reduce operational and healthcare costs, stimulate economic growth and attract investment, all while ensuring cities remain vibrant and desirable places to live and raise families.
Healthy cities supported by sustainable buildings and resilient infrastructure are the most effective and cost-efficient safeguard against urban decline. This book provides a compelling, data-driven roadmap for urban stakeholders, showing how to boost public health, cut costs and drive economic growth.
Each chapter breaks down the biological, economic and societal impacts of urban challenges, complete with practical, actionable solutions rooted in real-world case studies and detailed research.
This is a must-read for designers, developers, residents, policymakers, founders, and anyone passionate about shaping the future of our cities.
