DESIGNING HEALTHY COMMUNITIES: PART 4 - SEARCHING FOR SHANGRI-LA
Directed by Harry Wiland and Dale Bell

Hosted by author and national health expert Dr. Richard Jackson, MD, MPH

In the final episode, Dr. Jackson searches past and present America for model communities large and small that embody the intricate balance of health promoting design and human needs. Does the perfect community exist?

The journey takes him to Roseto, PA, Prairie Crossing, IL, New York City, Charleston, SC, and the forgotten 1960s urban renewal project of Lafayette Park in Detroit, MI, the brainchild of 4 men, including visionary architect, Mies van der Rohe. Also featured are walkability expert Dan Burden, and the 1960s, humorous but insightful, candid camera-style studies of people in public spaces by William Holly White.

Reviews
~ "Designing Healthy Communities is changing the way we think about the impacts of the built environment on public health. It is only a matter of time before Dr. Jackson teaches and inspires more people like myself to work towards improved public health through creative design for a better future for all." - George Maier, University of Georgia Master Program in Geography

~ "Given its action orientation and its provision of a blueprint for civic engagement and action, Designing Healthy Communities should be of particular interest to community psychologists and applied social psychologists interested in developing approaches to prevention and empowerment with historically disenfranchised persons and others experiencing health disparities." - Michael B. Blank, PhD, Psychiatry Department, University of Pennsylvania
