How can we bring people together? In Palaces for the People
Professor Eric Klinenberg presents a simple but transformative idea
for health, happiness, safety and healing our divided, unequal
society. Too often we take for granted and neglect our libraries,
parks, markets, schools, playgrounds, gardens and communal spaces,
but decades of research now shows that these places can have an
extraordinary effect on our health and wellbeing and that of
society as a whole. Why? Because wherever people cross paths and
linger, wherever we gather informally, strike up a conversation and
get to know one another, relationships blossom and communities
emerge - and where communities are strong, people are safer and
healthier, crime drops and commerce thrives, and peace, tolerance
and stability take root. Through uplifting human stories, Palaces
for the People shows that properly designing and maintaining this
'social infrastructure' is our single best strategy for a more
equal and united society.
