Design & Health: Better Neighborhoods = Healthier Lives

Did you know that just waving to a neighbor might actually help you live longer? Or that the design of your neighborhood affects your fitness, both physically and mentally?
Researcher Joanna Lombard, of the University of Miami, has a dual appointment as Professor at both UM’s School of Architecture and its School of Medicine. In this video Professor Lombard and Victor Dover discuss the importance of social interaction, physical activity, and green-ness-- and how all three move the needle on public health, stress and longevity. Find out how these three concepts are fundamental to the Lake Wales Envisioned initiative.

    Entire program is a great watch/listen. My favorite part is around 13:30 when my 2 longtime friends and collaborators zero in on the importance of designing for people with disabilities.
