What if that city acknowledges its part in creating the traumas that cause unhealthy stress, such as segregated neighborhoods, insecure housing, few playgrounds, environmental pollution, and unsafe streets, particularly for the poor and Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC)? In Cities for Life, public health expert Jason Corburn shares lessons from three of these cities: Richmond, California; Medelli?n, Colombia; and Nairobi, Kenya. Corburn draws from his work with citizens, activists, and decision-makers in these cities over a ten-year period, as individuals and communities worked to heal from trauma-from gun violence, housing and food insecurity, and poverty. These communities found innovative solutions for urban trauma by respecting the lived experience of those who were most impacted by harms. Cities for Life is essential reading for urban planning, design, and public health professionals as they work to change an urban planning and public health model that for too long has blamed the urban poor and BIPOC for how they have responded to traumas that they didn't create"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aUrban health 606 $aCities and towns$xHealth aspects 606 $aCities and towns$xPsychological aspects 606 $aCities and towns$xSocial aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aUrban health. 615 0$aCities and towns$xHealth aspects. 615 0$aCities and towns$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aCities and towns$xSocial aspects. 676 $a307.76 700 $aCorburn$b Jason$0899278 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822231903321 996 $aCities for life$93956418 997 $aUNINA
