Cities for Life: How Communities Can Recover from Trauma and Rebuild for Health
What can communities do to promote the health and healing of all their residents? Jason Corburn, professor of urban planning and public health at UC Berkeley, joined the Smart Growth Network to draw from a decade of work with communities in California, Kenya, and Columbia, to share ideas on how to help communities heal from trauma—from gun violence, housing, food insecurity, and poverty, and rebuild their social institutions, practices, and policies to be more focused on public health.
