Streetsblog‘s Mark Gorton interviews award-winning journalist Charles Montgomery about his fantastic new book “Happy City: Transforming Our Lives Thru Urban Design,” which delves in to the hard-to-measure metric of happiness and how the built environment of the place we live directly affects us.
It touches on quite a few New York City places like Times Square, the Lower East Side and Jackson Heights, Queens.
In the end, Charles and Mark discuss some simple ideas leaders and communities should stick to, to improve the lives of the people that live there.
