Sinopse

Traffic Free Zones explores the increasingly vital concept of pedestrian-only zones in urban environments and their profound impact on creating more livable cities. It argues that prioritizing people over vehicles can lead to significant improvements in air quality, mobility, and social interaction, ultimately contributing to sustainable urban planning.

 
The book examines the historical context of car-centric urban design, which has led to increased pollution and decreased community bonds. It highlights how strategic implementation of traffic-free zones can reshape urban life, noting that some cities have seen dramatic improvements to pedestrian safety and public health after implementation.

 
The book is structured to provide a comprehensive understanding of traffic-free zones, starting with their definition and historical evolution. It then delves into core impact areas such as air quality, sustainable mobility, and social interaction, using empirical evidence and case studies. For example, data from pedestrian count sensors and ethnographic studies are used to support the arguments.

 
Later chapters address practical aspects of implementation, including traffic management and economic impacts, to provide policy recommendations for creating pedestrian-centered urban spaces.

Losing Our Minds - The Challenge...

Dr. Lucy Foulkes

A compelling and incisive audiobook that questions the overuse of mental health terms to describe universal human emotionsPublic awareness of mental illness has been transformed in recent years, but our understanding of how to define it has yet to catch up. Too often, psychiatric disorders are confused with the inherent stresses and challenges of human experience. A narrative has taken hold that a mental health crisis has been building among young people. In this profoundly sensitive and constructive book, psychologist Lucy Foulkes argues that the crisis is one of ignorance as much as illness. Have we raised a 'snowflake' generation? Or are today's young people subjected to greater stress, exacerbated by social media, than ever before? Foulkes shows that both perspectives are useful but limited. The real question in need of answering is: how should we distinguish between 'normal' suffering and actual illness?Drawing on her extensive knowledge of the scientific and clinical literature, Foulkes explains what is known about mental health problems—how they arise, why they so often appear during adolescence, the various tools we have to cope with them—but also what remains unclear: distinguishing between normality and disorder is essential if we are to provide the appropriate help, but no clear line between the two exists in nature. Providing necessary clarity and nuance, Losing Our Minds argues that the widespread misunderstanding of this aspect of mental illness might be contributing to its apparent prevalence.
