Mental Health in College Students:

Hello all! I’m seeking anyone and everyone that is currently a college student. I’m conducting an anonymous survey in order to pool results for a research paper I’m doing. Any and all feedback and participation is greatly appreciated and going to good use! I’m hoping that this paper helps open up the conversation about college student’s battle with mental illnesses. If anything, it brings more attention to a problem in education that is becoming more frequent everyday. Become part of the change today by adding your voice to the conversation! Thanks again

Brandy is shut down with fear. #A1836053 Just sitting in her kennel to build trust. Think I was editing most of our visit keeping attention off of her. We could use MORE VOLUNTEERS just to socialize animals that need it. #trustbuilding #animals #dogs #adopt #adoptdontshop #adoption #socializing #patience #teamwork #makeadifference #bepartofthechange #love #doglove (at Friends of North Central Shelter - Los Angeles Animal Services) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtjySdUB7SM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=t5ewfdp4dc29

How would you design streetscapes?

This street, in San Jose, California, is 60 feet wideThe land underneath is worth $2.7 million—nearly $250,000 per house No wonder housing is so expensive In the United States, residential streets are typically 50 feet wide. That's much wider than in most other countries. In Tokyo, for example, the

The UCLA Institute of Transportation Studies adds a new layer towards how much space, money and potential we are losing due to wide streets. Check out how much space your city declares off limit for shared public uses.

Let’s change our urban horizon!

The horizon, a perceived line at which the earth's surface and the sky meet, is associated with freedom and imagination. The urban horizon, a city’s silhouette, is outlined by parked cars. Awareness towards the visual and physical pollution of our urban habitats, enables us to collectively discover the opportunities given by a new model of locally centralized parking options: An extensive and climate-effective liberation of public spaces which creates a #newurbanhorizon!

Transformation starts with imagination!

The power of imagination helps us to collectively shape our #newurbanhorizon in four steps, reaching from activation through immediate interventionists formats to implementation by long-term action and research configurations – (1) awareness,  (2) ideation, (3) placemaking and (4) solution-based research. The awareness campaign is core of our proposal, as we believe that self-created images can raise much needed consciousness, of people and policy makers alike, towards the necessary change of our streetscapes. Acknowledging the problem enables the ideation and envisioning of alternatives, which can facilitate behavioral change for a sustainable and green future of our cities. Therefore, we need bold and utopian images, produced by all European residents, from young to old, that help us to acknowledge the status quo of our urban horizon; grasp the potential of public spaces marked by road paint; democratize parking spaces and detect inclusive and environmentally-friendly uses that are of similar economical value.

Revitalize the veins of our cities! 

First we have to tackle the parking stress and thereto related traffic as well as the urban heat-island effect and impermeable ground. Linearly upgrading the urban fabric can contribute to a decentralized eco-resilience in its twofold meaning – economy and ecology. We imagine a making-it-green sponsorship of parking-lots for residents. By doing so, we can test models of stewardship for public green spaces; and hence, implementation and financing strategies. Moreover, the heat-island effect in cities can be tackled with interventions on the street level, as it stems from the high amount of sealed ground, primarily derived from streets and parking. Introducing plants and shading on the parking strips, while maintaining the circulation on the street, would support the climate-balancing effect of parks and introduce it to the streets, the veins of the city. Urban biodiversity corridors would gain continuity and establish a new type of urban green space. The liberation from the visual and physical barrier introduces a new level of safety and accessibility to the city. The decentralization of urban green, from the big Volksparks into the neighborhoods, encourages their social structure and fights urban loneliness and the anonymity of the city  – making not only our cities more resilient but also our communities.
