What is wellbeing and how can we design to promote it? More than the absence of illness or discomfort, wellbeing is shorthand for happiness, self-actualization, and holistic health. These outcomes are directly influenced by the physical and social spaces of our daily lives.
The social and health impacts of the built environments where we live, work, travel and play are significant and largely within our control. We know from environmental epidemiology that a person's mental and physical wellness is impacted by their daily surroundings as much, if not more, than by their genetic makeup. In this corner of the CCD, we are invested in gathering resources and perspectives from community experts, designers, planners, strategists, and researchers to develop better integration of holistic, healthy, and pro-social wellbeing strategies through conscious design.
