Walkability for a Restorative Urbanism

Jeff Speck and Joanna Lombard discussed Walkability for a Restorative Urbanism. The greatest predictors of longevity and health are physical activity and social interaction outside of one’s family circle, and research proves that the design of the neighborhood you live in impacts those variables. Lombard and Speck explained links to declining health related to sprawl, and how urban design solutions can help. The interviewer was Public Square editor Robert Steuteville.
