The Wrld Health Organisatin has prduced a reprt predicting that 9.8 billin f us will be living n this planet by 2050. Of that number,72 percent will be living in urban areas. Presented with this infrmatin, gvernments have a duty t cnsider hw best t meet the needs f city residents.

The Wrld Health Organisatin has prduced a reprt predicting that 9.8 billin f us will be living n this planet by 2050. Of that number,72 percent will be living in urban areas. Presented with this infrmatin, gvernments have a duty t cnsider hw best t meet the needs f city residents.
Take New Yrk City, a place where I frequently meet up with ther researchers in my field. Luckily fr me, I d nt need t navigate the crwded streets.

New Yrk has made great advances in redevelping its museums and arts centres, but authrities must recgnise that peple’s basic needs must be met first.
Smetimes these basic needs are misunderstd. In sme urban areas, new residential develpments are prvided with security features such as massive metal fences in the belief that these will make residents safer. There is little evidence that such steps make a difference, but we d knw they make residents feel unwilling t g utside and walk arund their neighburhd. This adds up t a feeling f being cut ff frm thers.
S where are planners and develpers ging wrng? Inviting a grup f lcals t attend a cnsultatin event is the cnventinal methd fr discvering what a cmmunity might want.
