GEOG 329 Lecture 13: Reading 13
1. Identify 3 main points of each reading
The reading covers the rise of health issues that have increased due to the rapid
movement into inner cities. One type of clinical issue that commonly arises is
depression linked to the lack of green space. Lerner mentions that the origin of city
planning arose due to concerns over health problems that were created by slums and
industries. Towards the end of the article, Lerner gives ideas of what type of activities
help improve the health of the residents. These include walking around parks and
greenspace to local stores and businesses that are in close proximity to resident
housing.
2. Identify the methods the author used to reach their conclusion
Lerner reached his conclusions based on research studies that are mentioned
throughout the article.
3. What did you learn from the readings
I learned about the different ways that inner city life can affect a resident’s lifestyle. A
lack of green space and an increase in pollution can harm a person’s health.
4. Identify the material you found challenging or had trouble understanding
The term “agriburbia” sounds fake but the goal and emphasis for this type of
community garden sounds like it would both help with community health problems.
5. Ask a question
Has there been an experiment made to prove the correlation between mental health and
community design?
