Webinar: Public Space and Mental Health and Wellbeing

Documents:

This episode of CitiesAreListening delves into the interrelations between public space and mental health. Public space contributes to children’s development, community life, reduces stress levels and improves mental health and wellbeing. What's more, the COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated how unevenly public space is distributed throughout cities and the negative consequences of poor access to green, inclusive and safe public spaces on dwellers' mental health.  Yet public space is a key component of city infrastructure that is often overlooked.

 

The interactive exchange will invite city leaders and experts to discuss the value of public space for mental and physical health in cities, together with UCLG, UN-Habitat, Metropolis and Placemaking X.
