The new visual sustainability model: urban health-a practical approach

The picture that has been developed in this book is a road map towards spatial health in cities: how to identify between levels of spatial health and the practical knowledge to produce it. The jury is still out on the exact causes of poor mental health in cities but the one thing we do know is that whatever we are repulsed by is alienating. In this step-by-step guide into analyzing levels of urban health in cities it will become clear how the new visual sustainability model is solutions based. The solution this book offers lies in the documentation of interaction type as a metric, one which is both impactful and practical. It deals with both physical use (the use that we see) and visual use (how we feel about the use that we see). We are encouraged to look at the digital tapestry for information about levels of visual sustainability; and listen to it so that we understand these data in an unscientific way, i.e. with feeling. The new visual sustainability model: urban health-a practical approach is aimed at people from all walks of life with an interest in urban health, quality of life, and the welfare of others around them-especially in cities. Through us, layer upon layer of use creates every part of our city in an endless construction of who we are and what we are becoming. It is therefore our collective duty to reconnect with those layers and steer the interactions we have with our urban environment towards a healthier outcome.
