This book examines wayfinding from a broad public health
perspective and articulates what needs to be done to create better
wayfinding for all people regardless of age, ability, or mode of
transportation. Addressing both science and the human experience,
the book brings together a group of international experts to
examine community wayfinding from a variety of viewpoints. It first
presents a critical foundation for understanding wayfinding from an
individual perspective. Next, it describes relevant design
principles and practices by drawing upon architecture,
environmental graphic design, universal design (UD), and urban
planning. The book then goes on to examine wayfinding tools and
innovative technologies ranging from maps to apps to complex
systems. In addition, coverage includes case studies, lessons from
wayfinding improvement initiatives, and recommendations for future
research, practice, and policy. Overall, the book focuses on the
economic and commercial benefits of good wayfinding, its potential
impact on the health of individuals and communities, as well as
strategies for the journey ahead. It will appeal to numerous
professionals across many disciplines from architecture and
cartography to public health and urban planning. Additionally, the
book can help advance a dialogue among those interested in
enhancing the livability of their communities.
