Abstract: Published by the U.S. Forest Service Northern Research Station, this book is a collection of 18 articles inspired by the Meristem 2007 Forum "Restorative Commons for Community Health." The volume explores the multifaceted relationship between human health and the urban environment, drawing attention to sites and programs that feature creative design, foster civic stewardship of natural resources, and promote sustainability. It includes academic writing of researchers in the fields of medical history, evolutionary psychology, and urban planning. And it couples this writing with practitioners’ experiential knowledge presented as case studies, thought pieces, and interviews. The book is suited for use in graduate and undergraduate education in a variety of disciplines including public health, urban planning, architecture, design, environmental studies and ecology. It is meant to share lessons learned from the fields of urban natural resource management and design with other practitioners, policymakers, and the general public.
