In the book "Cities for Life: How Communities Can Recover from Trauma and Rebuild for Health," Jason Corburn explores the impact of traditional urban planning on place-based trauma and health inequities. Corburn draws on case studies from Richmond, California; Medellín, Columbia; and the Mukuru informal settlement in Nairobi, Kenya to highlight the role of history, community participation, and institutionalized equity in urban development. The book emphasizes the need for community-driven urban planning that prioritizes healing, health, and well-being, and challenges the dominance of experts and technology in decision-making. While the book provides valuable insights, it lacks details on the challenges faced by marginalized communities in overcoming barriers to their own well-being. Overall, "Cities for Life" offers a comprehensive and holistic approach to community-driven urban planning and is a timely contribution to the field. [Extracted from the article]
