About This Collection

The sustainability category of health and wellness is both wide and deep. In this special collection our intention is to highlight voices of sustainability that are often lost in the sea of advertising by pharmaceutical and insurance companies for products and services. The information found on this site is not intended as recommendations for cures or a change in medical protocols, but, rather, an emphasis on innovative and fresh perspectives and ideas affecting the health and wellness of our citizens. Critical thinking, vision, and values are emphasized here on EarthSayers.

The Walkable City:Lessons from the U.S by Jeff Speck

Promoting walkability enhances citizen well-being, fosters business, and creates more liveable urban environments by encouraging walking and biking over driving.

City planner and urban designer Jeff Speck champions walkability and sustainable design. He is the bestselling author of "Walkable City: How Downtown Can Save America, One Step at a Time."

This video, featuring Jeff Speck, was recorded on April 8, 2015, in Lahti, Finland. The event was organized by Aalto University Professional Development, The Regional Council of Päijät-Häme, and the City of Lahti, with partial funding from the European Regional Development Fund. Follow Jeff on Twitter or order his book.
