#mysundayreadings  📚 Diving into "Social Infrastructure: Connecting People and Places for Healthy Communities" 🌍🌱 Today, I’ve enjoyed looking into this report by the Gehl - Making Cities for People's team who’s been leading a project on learning exchanges to uncover lessons from Belfast, Cape Town, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo, resonating deeply with my interests in various aspects of community development. Reflecting on the content, I can't help but see its relevance across multiple domains: 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Social infrastructure plays a pivotal role in climate resilience, from addressing heat waves to promoting local food production and reducing waste, and improving air quality. 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐌𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: It fosters economic empowerment through skill development resources, facilitating cross-group interactions, and initiatives like mentoring programs for homeless individuals. 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠: Green spaces, health programs, and community gardening projects underscore its impact on physical and mental health. 𝐑𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞: It serves as a platform for community bonding, celebrating heritage, and advocating for racial equity and justice. 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧: Murals, cultural activities, and artistic endeavors within social infrastructure spaces foster creativity and cultural appreciation. 𝐂𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐜 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: From boosting voter turnout to nurturing neighborhood stewardship, these spaces cultivate active citizenship and community involvement. Understanding social infrastructure through the lens of these outcomes reshapes how we approach community development. It's not just about building spaces; it's about fostering connections, resilience, and inclusivity.

The community feel in residential assisted living is a cornerstone of its appeal, offering a nurturing and inclusive environment that significantly enhances residents' quality of life.

This support and advocacy can help ensure the success of your projects for healthier places and spaces. We want to ensure the Checklist is optimised for local council and industry practitioners, to make sure that a future version is as helpful, meaningful and action oriented as possible for the great work you do! Depending on how much feedback you want to share, the survey (link below) will take between 5 and 15 minutes to complete.  The survey is open now and closes on Wednesday 24 April. Every person who completes the industry survey by Wednesday 24 April will be in the draw to receive one of three $50 Prezzee GO Visa eGift voucher. #walkability #physicalactivity #urbanplanning #neighbourhoods #physicalhealth #publichealth #wellbeing https://lnkd.in/gBCgq7jW
