Restorative Cities

Restorative Cities argues that many of the mental health challenges of city life (noise, crowding, pollution, long commutes, lack of daylight…) are not inevitable but rather failures of design.

Written by Layla McCay, a psychiatrist and public-health specialist, and Jenny Roe, an environmental psychologist with architectural design experience, the book makes a strong case for putting mental well-being at the center of urban design.
