Before we lift the next shovel. 520 $a How can we bring people together? [Here], Eric Klinenberg presents a simple but transformative idea for health, happiness, safety and healing our divided, unequal society. Too often we take for granted and neglect our libraries, parks, markets, schools, playgrounds, gardens and communal spaces, but decades of research now shows that these places can have an extraordinary effect on our health and wellbeing and that of society as a whole. Why? Because wherever people cross paths and linger, wherever we gather informally, strike up a conversation and get to know one another, relationships blossom and communities emerge - and where communities are strong, people are safer and more stimulated and lead happier, more active lives. Through uplifting human stories, [the book] shows that, properly designed and maintained, this `social infrastructure' demonstrably increases health, reduces crime, fosters tolerance and stability and, in emergencies, saves lives - more efficiently than any single other strategy yet devised."--Book flap. 650 7 $a Quality of life. $2 fast $0 (local)215701 650 7 $a Public spaces. $2 fast $0 (local)370687 650 7 $a Infrastructure (Economics) $2 fast $0 (local)370691 650 7 $a City planning. $2 fast $0 (local)343657 650 7 $a Community development. $2 fast $0 (local)370688 650 7 $a Equality. $2 fast $0 (local)364680 650 7 $a Social interaction. $2 fast $0 (local)301463 650 0 $a Infrastructure (Economics) $z United States. $0 (local)370694 650 0 $a City planning $z United States. $0 (local)291416 650 0 $a Public spaces $z United States. $0 (local)370690 650 0 $a Equality $z United States. $0 (local)215297 650 0 $a Quality of life $z United States. $0 (local)250340 650 0 $a Community development $z United States. $0 (local)370695 650 0 $a Social interaction $z United States. $0 (local)269531 650 4 $a Community development. $0 (local)370688 650 4 $a Social interaction. $0 (local)301463 650 4 $a Equality. $0 (local)364680 650 7 $a Stadtplanung $2 gnd $0 (local)370692 650 7 $a LebensqualitaÌt $2 gnd $0 (local)370689 650 7 $a Infrastruktur $2 gnd $0 (local)370693 650 7 $a OÌffentlicher Raum $2 gnd $0 (local)370686 650 7 $a Gemeinschaft $2 gnd $0 (local)348733 651 7 $a United States. $0 (local)221636 651 7 $a USA $0 (local)349980 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781473549746 941 $a 1 952 $l AXPF626 $d 20190618014505.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A7453CA8918E11E9A17BDD4B97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
