Day 8: The Importance of Walkable Cities
August 23. University Village, Seattle.
There is something about American cities that is so.. pedestrian unfriendly. Every time I go to a big city for co-op, being car-less, I always manage to find myself walking, awkwardly, either along or under a freeway flyover. And in the latter case, the experience is often a rich combination of sight, sound, and most specially, smell.
Today, again, I find myself being fooled by a two-dimensional map, only to realize the only way forward is along a flyover. (Perhaps city maps can develop a way of telling people when there are sudden elevation changes, like when a stretch of road becomes a flyover and the land on its either side suddenly falls fifty feet.) Maybe I should mention that there IS a sidewalk along the road. But that does not make the journey pedestrian friendly at all. All that I felt while walking there, despite the beautiful scenery, is how out of place I am as a pedestrian, among all the cars that are zooming by. Nevermind the scenic views from the flyover, I don’t think they were framed intentionally for pedestrians.
But that was just the beginning. As I walked along the road, I see my destination right below the flyover. On the map, the University Village is indeed right next to 45th street, and I didn’t for a moment think about how I was going to get there from the road adjacent to it. You just cross the road and taa-daa! It should be right across the road, no? No. The flyover ends somewhere at the end of the university village “block”, but there is no way for pedestrians to simply cross the 45th street to get there. Instead, there was a parking lot right under the flyover, and pedestrians have to walk along the perimeter of the parking lot to get to the PEDESTRIAN entrance to the university village.
Now, a university VILLAGE, one would think, is somewhere near a university and most probably accessible by foot. But to my horror, that is not the case. Yet, there is a surprising amount of people here. Students, families, elderly people. Did they all get here by car? I did not see a single pedestrian walkway into the village from any neighborhood, not to mention from the university itself. It really might as well be an outlet mall in suburban Ohio. There is indeed, a huge block of parking garage beside the entrance. So I guess that says it all - the village, is indeed a village and village literally.
And this is not the first time I experienced pedestrian inaccessibility in Seattle. Yesterday, when I was trying to get to the Frye Art Museum, Google Maps had told me to get off the 512 metro in downtown and take a walk to the museum. I should have been mentally prepared when I saw the walk included crossing the I5 interstate highway. This time, I was walking UNDER the flyover. But as always, I am of the few awkward pedestrians walking alongside cars that are zooming by. What the hell am I doing here, was all I could think. This place is certainly not meant for pedestrians, even though there are sidewalks. Perhaps from a urban design point of view, there would be a logical way of explaining why that sidewalk is not pedestrian friendly. First off, the area was dark, being under at least 10 lanes of road. Secondly, the heavy industrial pillars supporting the flyover highway did not look friendly. Thirdly, the area was not well-kept. There was trash on the floor, and the area smelled of trash and urine. There was also no greenery. It was apparent that this area had been neglected by the local urban planning department.
The reason I am lamenting at length about pedestrian inaccessibility is this is not my first encounter with this problem in the United States, and each time this happens, it makes me question the social acceptability of my mode of transport, and of myself. Does walking in such a place suddenly render me a homeless, pathetic person? Is there a social stigma with not driving, is there a social stigma with simply, walking?
There are so many things that I like about America, but every time I come to a new American city, my excitement and anticipation is always met with disappointment with pedestrian accessibility. I guess this is why people have been looking to places like Amsterdam in Europe, because they do a much better job at making their cities pedestrian friendly. I had never given much thought about how important it is, until I experienced what pedestrian UNfriendliness feels like.
If Edward Hopper’s paintings convey desolation in the American manmade landscape, then there has to be a painting that conveys the existential crisis faced by walking in an American city.
Shibam is often called “the oldest skyscraper city in the world” or “the Manhattan of the Middle East” and “the Chicago of the desert”. It is one of the oldest and best examples of urban planning based on the principle of vertical construction. The city has some of the tallest mud buildings in the world, with some of them over 30 meters (100 feet) high, thus being early high-rise apartment buildings. In order to protect the buildings from rain and erosion, the walls must be routinely maintained by applying fresh layers of mud. (Wikipedia)
Mental-health issues can’t be solved by psychologists alone—city design can help, too
The world’s cities aren’t very mentally healthy.
People who reside in cities are more likely to develop depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia than those living in the countryside. No matter where you live, at least one in four people will have a mental illness in their lifetime, and everyone suffers from mental-health problems such as low mood, loneliness, stress, and anxiety at some time or another. These kinds of problems can affect everything from our relationships and housing to our social capital and resilience.
But mental health is not just an individual issue: It affects the whole city. According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), economic costs associated with mental illness amount to 4% of national GDP. Mental illness increases a city’s costs of health and social care and puts people at higher risk of physical-health problems. There are also indirect costs to the city: People with mental-health problems can become disadvantaged in education and employment, and their opportunities for economic and social participation may begin to decline.
In these ways, mental-health problems affect a city’s ability to remain thriving, resilient, and sustainable. But while many of the more physical aspects of health have been addressed using urban design—for example, some cities have created walking and biking infrastructure that encourages physical fitness to reduce obesity, while others have separated pedestrians from motor-vehicle emissions to reduce urban air pollution and prevent respiratory diseases—most cities have not taken the same intentional approach with their citizens’ mental health.
The solution for mentally healthy cities
But urban planners can design the urban environment in ways that systematically address mental-health opportunities. For example:
Expanding access to green spaces—such as parks, street trees, or even office-window views of nature—has been proven to benefit mental health.
“Active design” is not simply a physical health effort: Because regular exercise can be an effective way to address some forms of mild depression (as well as reducing anxiety and some of the symptoms of dementia, ADHD, and even schizophrenia), interventions like creating walking circuits in a park or installing safe cycling infrastructure can have substantial mental-health benefits.
Positive social interaction increases self esteem and feelings of belonging as well as mitigating loneliness and anxiety. In order to encourage this, public spaces can install features like benches and chess tables to facilitate social interaction and provide settings for community activities.
When people are experiencing mental-health problems, individual and group interventions by mental health professionals are essential. But when it comes to promoting good mental health and preventing disorders, there are myriad untapped opportunities. When we shift the scale of innovation from the individual to the city, we can create long-lasting solutions that make our cities more enjoyable—and mentally healthy—for all.

The Full Potential Challenge
Ever wonder what your life would be like if you lived up to your full potential? Would your body be healthier? Your skin clearer? Bank account bigger? I think about these things all the time, and, judging my a previous post, you guys do to. Below is a chart designed to help all of us live up to our full potential. I’ve broken it down into time frames to help keep you from getting overwhelmed. Write the chart down and hang it someplace where you can see it all the time. I will be starting this challenge tomorrow, 9/8. I’ll check in with you guys every Sunday to track my progress. I have specific goals in mind for myself, and you guys should make some too! I really want to know how you guys are doing. Tag your progress posts with #sbfpc so I can track it and take a look. Let’s get to it!
EVERY MORNING
Stretch. First thing. Really give your body enough time to wake up. Touch your toes. Roll out your shoulders. Do not hit snooze!
Do your full skincare routine. I have mine detailed here, but do whatever works for you and your complexion. Be gentle and consistent.
Brush your teeth and floss. I used to be a big floss-skipper too, but you’d be amazed at how dig of a difference it makes. Rinse with a whitening mouthwash. I use one by Crest, and I notice a major difference in my teeth’s overall whiteness in just a few days.
Give yourself enough time to get ready. Whether you’re a wash-and-go kind of girl, or someone who spends an hour doing a full contouring routine before class (and either one is fine!), make sure you aren’t rushing. If you need to wake up a few minutes earlier than normal, so be it. Rushing sets an awful, stressed-out tone for the rest of the day. Allow yourself to be relaxed before taking on the day.
Eat something. I’m not going to say eat a big breakfast, because some people (myself included) just can’t eat in the morning. But you should eat, or at least bring a little something with you to work or school. If you can’t eat a full breakfast, grab a fruit! You won’t be as hungry come lunch time, making you less likely to gorge yourself.
Shower. You can do this at night, in the morning, whatever. Again, this is something you should allow some time for. I don’t wash my hair every day, but I do condition it every day (from the ears down). Scrub yourself with a delicious-smelling body wash. If you shave, make yourself as smooth as a dolphin, dude. If you don’t, then don’t and don’t ever ever ever let anyone make you feel bad or weird about it. When you get out of the shower, wrap yourself in a fluffy towel and totally slather your sexy self with lotion. Top to bottom. Do it as soon as you can post-shower so it can really sink in.
Put leave-in condition throughout your damp hair and comb it through.
Put on an outfit that makes you feel good! So important!
Drink water. Drink water. Drink water. Drink water!!!!!
Take a look at your daily to-do list. Knock out the most pressing stuff first. Take pride when you cross things off your list.
Make your bed! Oh my god, make your bed. Do it. Do it. Do it.
EVERY AFTERNOON
Follow the “touch it once” approach. This is a truly life-changing thing. When a task is in front of you, no matter how big or small, just do it right then and there. How many times have you gotten a work email or homework assignment and thought, “Eh, I’ll do it later”? And then later never comes? Once something pops up, do it once. Squash it and be done. Cross things off your list and feel like a badass.
Try to go for a walk at lunch. Even one little lap around the block or campus will reenergize you like nobody’s business.
Drink water. Drink water. Drink water. Drink water!!!!!
Be present. This is so hard for me too, but you have to make a major effort to be present in whatever you’re doing. Be engaged and plugged-in and just exist in the moment. Give 100 percent.
Be friendly to friends and strangers. A smile goes a long way.
Eat something. Eat what you packed for lunch (see below) and take a break from working while you do it. You need “you time”!
EVERY EVENING
Take your makeup off as soon as you’re in for the night. Wash your face with your full routine and let your skin have a break.
Workout. You can also do this in the morning. Whatever works for you. Make a great playlist and go hard af. Get your cardio in. Get your strength training in. Earn every freaking sweat bead forming on your forehead. Earn your shower!
Knock out your homework. Life is infinitely better you don’t have anything hanging over your head. Half the time, the energy and emotion you spent dreading/putting off your work is ten times worse than the work itself.
Make a list of what needs to be done tomorrow. It’ll set you up for success the next day, and you won’t forget anything!
Drink water. Drink water. Drink water. Drink water!!!!!
Lay out your clothes for tomorrow. This will save you SO MUCH TIME in the morning omg I can’t even tell you how important this is.
Eat something great. And once you’ve decided to be done eating for the night, be done. Brush your teeth so you can’t eat again.
After brushing, do a whitening treatment. Whether it’s classic baking soda, a Crest white strip, or a laser. Do something. And floss! Retainers in too, ladies 0:)
Relax! Take a few hours to do what YOU want to do. Scroll through Tumblr, binge on some Netflix, FaceTime gossip with your friends, anything. Do whatever makes you happiest.
Shut the electronics off an hour before you want to go to bed. Put your phone on sleep mode. If you stare at the screen, it will keep you awake and alert and you won’t be able to fall asleep. A good night’s sleep is crucial for weightless and general happiness lol
Do a quick sweep of your room and see if there’s anything you can put away real quick. A clean space is a happy space.
Crawl into your bed (aren’t you happy you took the time to make it?!) and read a book by lamplight for a while. When you start to feel sleepy, go to sleep. Don’t push it. You kicked ass today and you deserve rest.
EVERY WEEKEND
Do something with your friends. It just has to be one thing. Even if you’re just hanging out at the coffee shop, spending time with your squad will make you a better, happier person.
Drink water. Drink water. Drink water. Drink water!!!!!
Do something just for you. Set your laptop up in the bathroom and watch a Netflix marathon while you take a bubble bath. Buy an old school bottle of Mr. Bubbles ($3 at Target!) and really just soak. Relax. Light a candle.
Do something creative. You can read a book, write, blog, draw, code, anything. It just has to be something that speaks to your passion.
Track your progress. Just do this once a week so it doesn’t become all-consuming. And remember that non-scale victories are just as important as shedding pounds.
Take the time to be grateful. Tell your friend how much you admire her taste in music. Mention to your mom how much you love her cooking and how happy you are that she takes care of you. Thank your teaching after an especially interesting lecture. When you do something awesome, take a moment to admire yourself. Be grateful for even the little things.
Anything I missed? Reblog + add yours! Don’t forget to tag your progress!
Great idea, and ill start today. Even tho some parts i cant fulfill, ill try my best to live to my full potential
