Last week Kristian spoke at the NAI in  Rotterdam on the topic of ‘Inviting for health through design’ looking at Copenhagen and China. He makes a distinction between how this can be achieved in different global contexts defined by the stage of industrialization and level of car domination in a particular city. In the car-dominated Western cities it is necessary to design invitations for active transit, making walking and cycling attractive and safe. Whilst in less developed economies the challenge is to preserve the pre-existing opportunities to a healthy life ingrained in the culture and fabric that is already there whilst also allowing for economic development.
