HEALTH Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a mood disorder associated with changing seasons and can take on many of the same symptoms of depression. SAD affects 10 -20% of the national population. CULTURE A climate-responsive city offers greater opportunities for social inclusion and expression of authentic local character.
