Where's The Human In Infrastructure? with Marianne Lefever
11/30/20 • 32 min
How we design our cities has a huge impact on the health and wellness of people. In a recent series of articles, A healthy city, beyond cycling, Marianne Lefever and her co-author explore the complex interconnections of health and infrastructure. For example, cycling is a great way to create healthy opportunities for people in cities but depending on where you cycle, you could be exposing yourself to harmful air pollution that may make your choice to cycle more detrimental to your health! Together with host Jen Hancock, Marianne breaks down the challenges and opportunities facing cities around the world and how a people-first approach to design and infrastructure can not only improve health and wellness but save millions of taxpayer dollars in the process.
