The following piece is from a new book, Happy City: Transforming Our Lives Through Urban Design, by journalist Charles Montgomery. It examines how cities shape not only our physical lives, but our mental and emotional wellbeing as well.
In this excerpt, Montgomery finds truth in the old dictum, “good fences make good neighbors,” by looking at the case of Rob McDowell, a diplomat who bought a condominium on the 29th floor of the 501, a hip, design-heavy tower in Vancouver’s Yaletown district.
