Healing from Trauma by Building for Health

As cities build and grow, they have a choice to make: to become healers from or creators of trauma.

Trauma in our built environment derives from systemic racism, disinvestment, and disenfranchisement of individuals in our cities. Climate change has the potential to greatly exacerbate these traumas. By investing in people and places, while also changing decision-making processes that have contributed to urban trauma, cities can lead the charge in promoting better health for their citizens and for the planet. climate mitigation and adaptation could heal those wounds.

During this conversation you’ll hear from public health experts, like Cities for Life author Jason Corburn, explaining the structures in place that lead to cities causing trauma and the possible solutions to healing from it. Expect to gain both theoretical understanding and tangible knowledge about this public health crisis.
