Wayfinding interventions offer a viable, low-cost, intervention to increase recreational walking in urban greenspaces for irregular users, older adults and those with mobility impairments.
Why only plan for children’s play in cities? Play could support the health and wellbeing of older adults. Let’s reimagine age-friendly planning with play in mind.
Access to green spaces and a walkable neighborhood are essential for maintaining good health, particularly for vulnerable populations. Thus, it is imperative to ensure that individuals have the opportunity to reside in neighborhoods that are not only walkable, but also equipped with adequate green spaces conveniently located within a reasonable walking distance.
Our study introduces and reviews how the built environment and its relation to population health are assessed in the literature. We did this by identifying methodological shortcomings and research potentials that need to be addressed jointly. Our assessment aims to undertake multiple health issues in an integrated manner, and identify priorities within the city whereby health is a primary goal.
The study investigates critical issues and strategies for the regeneration and valorisation of small historical villages through interviews with opinion leaders. The debate is strengthened by the analysis of scientific literature and concrete cases in Italy.
As the global urban population grows, food production and housing are currently ‘competing’ with each other for land on the edges of cities. Both essential urban components, this research supports town planning and urban design professionals to explore alternative peri-urban land use typologies, where food production and housing co-exist for greater urban health and resilience.
