{"product_id":"restorative-cities-jenny-roe-9781350112889","title":"Restorative Cities: Urban Design for Mental Health and Wellbeing","description":"\u003cp\u003eOvercrowding, noise and air pollution, long commutes and lack of daylight can take a huge toll on the mental well-being of city-dwellers. With mental healthcare services under increasing pressure, could a better approach to urban design and planning provide a solution? The restrictions faced by city residents around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic has brought home just how much urban design can affect our mental health - and created an imperative to seize this opportunity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eRestorative Cities\u003c\/i\u003e explores a new way of designing cities, one which places mental health and wellness at the forefront. Establishing a blueprint for urban design for mental health, it examines a range of strategies - from sensory architecture to place-making for creativity and community - and brings a genuinely evidence-based approach that will appeal to designers and planners, health practitioners and researchers alike - and provide compelling insights for anyone who cares about how our surroundings affect us. Written by a psychiatrist and public health specialist, and an environmental psychologist with extensive experience of architectural practice, this much-needed work will prompt debate and inspire built environment students and professionals to think more about the positive potential of their designs for mental well-being.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jenny Roe, Layla McCay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350112887\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350112889\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Visual Arts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Jenny Roe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995337163007,"sku":"9781350112889","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b15547ce-f16a-42f2-a649-eb81e0f8bc50.jpg?v=1683335253","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/restorative-cities-jenny-roe-9781350112889","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
