"Public spaces are the most powerful frame for opportunity," says Nisha Botchwey, PhD. Drawing from her groundbreaking book Making Healthy Places, Dr. Botchwey - who was named Dean of the University of Minnesota's Humphrey School of Public Affairs in January - will "explore the edge of where we can go to create thriving communities."
Equitable access to life-changing parks and other civic assets has perhaps never been so vital. But even in the face of converging social and natural challenges, including climate change and systemic racism, there is reason to have hope.
