Cidades do futuro...
To build the cities of the future, we must get out of our cars
The purpose of cities is to bring people together. In the 20th century, we blew them apart. One day last year, Peter Calthorpe took me on a drive through some of the wreckage. He wanted to show me how he proposes to make cities whole again.
Calthorpe is an architect who in the late 1970s helped design one of the first energy-efficient state office buildings, which still stands in Sacramento, California.

In his spare, airy office in Berkeley, the charter of the Congress for the New Urbanism hangs framed on the wall, denouncing “the spread of placeless sprawl.” Calthorpe helped launch the group in 1993.

Tobacco taxes
Tobacco taxes have the greatest potential to slash smoking rates, according to Truth Initiative® researchers who reviewed 40 studies that use simulation models to assess the existing and future effectiveness of tobacco control policies. Researchers analyzed computer simulated models predicting the impact of six major non-clinical tobacco control interventions: taxation, youth prevention, smoke-free policies, mass media campaigns, marketing/advertising restrictions and product regulation.

Health and tribalism
*Divisive political ideologies are bad for health* Following the recent events in New Zealand more people accept the link between hate speech, Islamophobia and violent acts by extremists. These are obvious examples of the impact those who preach the ideology of divisiveness can have on health. But there are more common health impacts of political or economic practices that play groups against one another whether they be racial, religious, language, gender, age, income or any division that produces inequities and winners and losers.

Um novo estudo, porém, desmente essa afirmação, mostrando... mais »
