Public spaces and other places of social connection in our communities are incredibly important, especially when we are hit by shocks like extreme weather. I had the pleasure of talking to the super smart Dr. Daniel Aldrich last month about the role of social infrastructure in creating more resilient communities. Encourage you to watch the video and read the article. #resilience #communities #socialinfrastructure #publicspaces
Robust social infrastructure can save lives. Here's how, according to Daniel Aldrich: "...If you think about the January 2025 Los Angeles fires or recent events like floods and hurricanes that have hit around the country, our research has shown that if you’re better connected and live in communities with more of these connecting spaces, your outcomes are better, so you as an individual do better. There are more survivors in those (connected) communities, and the recovery process is faster." Read the article and watch the conversation at Reimagining the Civic Commons: https://lnkd.in/eFyu9Tc6.
