The document is titled "Healing by Design" by Gutierrez, Morris, Newsome, Puente and Sahiwala from September 28, 2013. It discusses health and the built environment at different scales - from small personal spaces to the global scale. At a small scale, health is affected by what we eat, wear and encounter daily. At the medium scale of buildings and neighborhoods, design can promote health and well-being. At the large urban scale, the public realm should catalyze equality and wellness. Globally, issues include pollution, food allergies, e-waste, space debris and the need for sustainable solutions.
