Access to greenspace, exercise, good food and company all improve our health. Investing in parks, active travel and community development gives significant return on investment. A #socialInfrastructure approach provides a way to promote interventions that build social capital.

I cover the importance of active travel as part of our physical and #socialInfrastructure in my book #creatingCommunityHealth, coming out in May. If we're trying to improve health, promoting active travel is a great way to achieve this.

@stopgopfox It translates into either; be afraid because they’re going to “force” 401k plans to invest in renewable energy companies or maybe it’s that they’re going to “make” these plans invest in companies that are woman/minority owned. Ohh!! Maybe it’s companies that invest in #SocialInfrastructure? All three?

That’s the best I can come up with.

If the title of this podcast appeals to you as much as it does me, then we should probably be friends. Thanks to Emeline for having me on, for letting me ramble and for the absurdly generous description. I’ll probably spend the rest of my life trying to deserve it.

With the hilarious (mis)management of one #stablegenius and the unfortunate reinstatement of another, it would seem the right time to rethink what #socialmedia actually is and how it should work.

A #publicsphere should be a beautiful city filled with different architecture, ideas and people. Not a gladiatorial arena.

#Communication unpolluted by #capitalism - allowing people to create communities without coercion. A free federated system forms a more stable #socialinfrastructure for #democracy

Here's my current #BooksofMastodon, #7Books that lead us to a more community-oriented society where wellbeing, sustainability & planetary health take priority over 'economic growth at all costs'. All strong influences on the book I've just finished writing #communityHealth.

Sophie Yarker's book on #socialInfrastructure in particular is well worth seeking out to understand how to build opportunities for interactions by default, to address impacts on loneliness & isolation in elderly.

A platform for public debate should be a public platform. We need a renewed notion of #publicinfrastructure and #socialinfrastructure

I’m particularly interested in following people who practice and talk about #experimentation #complexity #systemsthinking #socialinfrastructure #participatorydesign and structures related to those such as #participatorycities #LivingLabs #sociallabs and more.
