NEW AIA PUBLIC DIRECTOR TO JOIN IN DECEMBER

摘要

Mindy Fullilove, a research psychiatrist at New York State University Psychiatric Institute, sees a connection between the ways our cities are designed and the health of their inhabitants. Fullilove, 62, also a professor of clinical psychiatry and public health at Columbia University, first saw it when doing research on AIDS in 1989: she was surprised by a proposal that the urban policies of the '70s-including planned city shrinkage-had been instrumental in spreading the disease.
