Restorative Cities: urban design for mental health and wellbeing

I bought this as a gift for a student writing a thesis on this topic. He loves it. It will be cited in his paper.

I found it to be well researched, presented in a very clear way, and relatively aware of the gaps and deficiencies in the state of knowledge.The book presented a really compelling overview of how we can build mentally healthy cities that also tick off a lot of other boxes (accessible, reducing GHG, reducing urban heat island, remaining economically vibrant).It's not earth shattering or paradigm shifting, but it's approachable and understandable while being realistic.
