The first edition of Making Healthy Places offered a visionary and
thoroughly researched treatment of the connections between
constructed environments and human health. Since its publication
over 10 years ago, the field of healthy community design has
evolved significantly to address major societal problems, including
health disparities, obesity, and climate change. Most recently, the
COVID-19 pandemic has upended how we live, work, learn, play, and
travel. In Making Healthy Places, Second Edition: Designing and
Building for Well-Being, Equity, and Sustainability, planning and
public health experts Nisha D. Botchwey, Andrew L. Dannenberg, and
Howard Frumkin bring together scholars and practitioners from
across the globe in fields ranging from public health, planning,
and urban design, to sustainability, social work, and public
policy. This updated and expanded edition explains how to design
and build places that are beneficial to the physical, mental, and
emotional health of humans, while also considering the health of
the planet. This edition expands the treatment of some topics that
received less attention a decade ago, such as the relationship of
the built environment to equity and health disparities, climate
change, resilience, new technology developments, and the evolving
impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on the latest research,
Making Healthy Places, Second Edition imparts a wealth of practical
information on the role of the built environment in advancing major
societal goals, such as health and well-being, equity,
sustainability, and resilience. This update of a classic is a
must-read for students and practicing professionals in public
health, planning, architecture, civil engineering, transportation,
and related fields.
