Streets In The Sky

by Cambridge Public Health

In Streets In The Sky we explore the public health implications of modern housing. Our aim is to understand how deviations from local conceptions of home affect the well-being of those living in modern tower blocks, whether in England, the Global South, or beyond. With global warming creating unsafe living environments across the world, new tower blocks that do not account for local needs are likely to transform into public health crises over the coming years. We speak to academics, architects, public health specialists, and government representatives to determine both the importance of this growing problem and what can be done about it. Homes need to change — but changing them in the wrong way will lead everyone to be worse off.
