Restorative Cities

The Urban Design Group, along with the Centre for Urban Design and Mental Health, are delighted to invite you to the book launch of Restorative Cities: Urban Design for Mental Health and Wellbeing by Jenny Roe and Layla McCay.

The Covid-19 pandemic has focused minds on what has been a rapidly growing focus in urban design and planning: how to shape cities for mental health and wellbeing. Until now, designers, planners, health professionals and other practitioners have lacked the evidence-based book that links science with practice to describe how to maximise positive impact and value.
Restorative Cities brings together the latest evidence and practice for the first time to provide a robust scientific basis for this growing multidisciplinary field, introducing a new Restorative Cities framework that provides clear but flexible principles and guidelines at neighbourhood and city level, with examples from around the world, relevant to anyone interested or involved in urban design and planning for mental health and wellbeing. Join us to celebrate the launch, hear from the authors about the Restorative Cities framework and how it works in practice, followed by a panel discussion with urban design and wellbeing experts.

Time: 12:00 BST
