Hosted by celebrated author and teacher Richard Jackson, MD, MPH, this documentary makes the case that the rapidly deteriorating public health of our citizens is linked directly to nearly haIf-a-century of bad design decisions, now frozen in concrete. Each of the segments included in this set looks at the different impacts our buiIt environment in urban and suburban areas has on key pubIic health issues obesity, diabetes, heart disease, asthma, cancer, and even depression. Dr. Jackson links bad community design with burgeoning heaIth costs and analyzes what ordinary citizens, incIuding many young peopIe, are trying to do about this urgent crisis. Dr. Jackson inhabits the frontier between pubIic heaIth and urban planning and offers us hopeful examples of innovative transformations. |
