  • 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.

And little did we know @LaylaMcCay in the conceptualisation and drafting of Restorative Cities just how pertinent urban design for mental health was going to be during a pandemic twitter.com/LaylaMcCay/sta…
