  • The restorative power of urban waterfronts and tactical urbanism
    Undertaken by a team at the University of Virginia in conjunction with Happy City and Street Plans Collaborative, this study is one of the few covering the emerging field of “blue health.”
  • Neural signatures associated with experiencing different urban environments
    We previously wrote about studying emotive responses in older people through research conducted in Edinburgh, Scotland.
  • Special restorative design considerations for the elderly
    Attending to the health and wellbeing of our older people is not only an ethical concern, but a practical one as well.
  • Poverty, Ethnicity, and Mental Health in Children
    Health equity is one of those “wicked problems.” We want to solve it, but it’s bound up tightly with other problems: namely, poverty and ethnicity.
  • Walking in nature and the city – a study on emotive responses in the elderly
    Restorative environments don’t demand a lot of mental effort but do capture our sense of curiosity and interest in an effortless way.
  • Youth friendly and healthy cities?
    Did you know that 30% of 16-24 year-olds report that they never visit a local park?
  • Building on the Francis effect
    This autumn I become my own study in human adaptation, as I moved across the Atlantic to America to become the Professor in Design and Health at the Architecture School, University of Virginia.
  • Navigating the world with sight loss
    It has been suggested the human eye is the most important sensory organ in our body, with 80% of all the impressions on our senses coming from the eye.

For decades, psychiatric hospitals were grim settings where patients were crowded into common rooms by day and dorms at night. But new research has spurred the development of facilities that are more calming and supportive. nyti.ms/39iLi0V
