Abstract
Drawing on the latest research in city planning, economics, criminology, public health, and other fields, this talk will provide an overview of the book Changing Places, which demonstrates how well-designed changes to place can significantly improve the well-being of large groups of people. Science shows we can enhance people’s health and safety by changing neighborhoods block-by-block. Changing Places explains why planners and developers need to recognize the value of scientific testing, and why scientists need to embrace the indispensable know-how of planners and developers.
Hosted by the Jerry Lee Centre for Experimental Criminology
Series This talk is part of the Public Thursday Seminars, Institute of Criminology series.
