Annalise V Johns, London-based urban designer brings us the latest discussions from some of the most interesting urban design discussions around London. Want to share what's being discussed in your city? Email us. Bestselling author Deepak Chopra spoke at the Southbank on May 22 on his latest book The Healing Self that surrounds personal health. Chopra, a pioneer of integrative medicine among his many accomplishments, shares his insight into this new age of responsibility for our own health, and specifically our need to make conscious preventative daily choices to offset illnesses and diseases. To remind you, the top 5 non-communicable diseases (NCDs) afflicting the human race today are; cardiovascular disease, cancer, respiratory disease and diabetes, which account for 40 million deaths each year. However, add the fifth, depression, which “is the leading cause of ill health and disability worldwide” affecting 350 million or 4% of the global population, or one in 20 people, and you begin to see how health services really have their hands full. A talk at the LSE in February on The Future of Aging stated “someone is diagnosed with dementia every three seconds.” Both sources lament the statistics of non-communicative diseases but stress the power of prevention needing to be prioritised by all of us to age more humanely. Research has shown that those who remain connected to what is going on in society, remain productive and socially engaged, are those who offset diseases such as depression and many forms of cancer. This translates into more “people {being} better able to help themselves and others to stay well and get ill less often and for shorter periods of time.” The question is: how does this translate into our urban spaces and into our evolving economy? The Royal Society of Art has been exploring manufacturing in the city and how the industry has evolved. The report highlights how manufacturing serves a diversity of sectors from multinational to self-employed suppliers. More importantly the location in which this sector finds itself is equally diverse depending on the scale and typology of the output. What is most pressing is the need for more affordable manufacturing units made available to be rented across London. Interestingly, in Richard Florida’s latest book The New Urban Crisis, among the rich body evidence he shares some delicious statistics on London’s recent rise among “leading global cities for Venture Capital Investment”. Florida, reminds readers that the evidence show us that “ the world’s most innovative and creative places are not the high-rise canyons of Asian cities but the walkable, mixed-use neighbourhoods of San Francisco, New York and London.” These are the places that are safer, have higher quality of living and support a mix of talent, age and use. The key here is the walkable space. If we go back to the earlier question about aging humanely, by enabling a sustainable existence whereby people can be a part of society via their walk to work and their productive lives, then really it comes down to the design of our cities. Bringing our cities back to a human scale a scale of resilience, not a scale of siloed development. The new urban crisis is one that can be solved by providing more thought to sustainable health and adapting the way in which people actively evolve over their lives, as a design tool to guide what a development should look like but also by what it should provide. Many might argue this tool to be biomimicry – an approach to innovation that emulates nature to secure sustainable solutions. If you combined the investment from Venture Capital coming into London, with the lack of affordable manufacturing space, within all of the opportunity areas London has earmarked, more students and older employees could be given the chance to activate a sustainable preventative health model. Interestingly, only yesterday I received the latest newsletter from the New Economic Foundation, which is urging Londoners to save our Railway arches “home to thousands of small businesses all over the country”. The archways are owned by Network Rail and provide ideal affordable, local spaces for small businesses to operate at a diversity of scale and employment. They are “powering local economies and giving life to local communities.” Network Rail is about to sell off these arches to global investment firms, which seems a missed opportunity. Brexit or not, London’s population is growing, the population is ageing and the combination of better health, productivity and sustainable jobs are needed for all ages and stages of our work force. We just need a more consistent system to realise it. Filmmaker Luciana Kaplan’s latest film Rush Hour documents the commute of 3 people: a Mexican beautician, a Turkish mother working in a clothing store and an American engineer. She demonstrates the losses of life that take place due to the uncompromising commute many people in urban areas endure to afford their cost of life. It is a painful truth that even in London, many have to travel too far, for too long, to be paid so little, which translates into a huge cost of non-communicative diseases. The sad truth being told in this documentary is that none of the commuters shown could prevent their life choices without the intervention of more humanely designed cities. About the Author

I live in USA, ohio, I have to give this miraculous testimony, which is so unbelievable until now. I had a problem with my Ex husband 2 years ago, which lead to our break up. I was not myself again, i felt so empty inside me, my love and financial situation became worst, until a close friend of mine told me about a spell caster who helped her in the same problem too her name is Dr Unity I emailed the spell caster and i told her my problem and i did what she asked of me, to cut the long story short. Before i knew what was happening , less than two days my husband gave me a call and told me that he was coming back to me i was so happy to have him back to me. The most interesting part of the story is that am pregnant. Thanks to Dr Unity for saving my marriage and for also saving others own too. Continue your good work Dr Unity..

few week ago I felt some pains and I went to the hospital my doc told me I had Herpes about 1 yr and I need to start the treatment early, he gave me some medicine to be taking and I told him no I’ll not, because I hated taking medicine when I won’t not see cure for the purpose. After I got home I started getting worried searching for strong advice and I found valid natural treatment online lot people says they got herpes cure from Dr APAMA and I contacted Dr APAMA 3 days passed, I purchase his cure online some weeks after the process taking his treatment i got cured. I went for checkup twice after taking the natural treatment from the herbalist called Dr APAMA and i tested negative. contact him on email: [[email protected]] or message him on WhatsApp +27656159025 God bless you

Am writing this article to thank Dr. Jumba, the powerful spell caster that helped me recently to bring back my ex lover that left me for another woman for no reason for the past 8 years. After seeing a post on the internet by Jenna from the USA saying how she was helped by Dr. Jumba, I also decided to contact him for help because I had no choice. All I wanted was for me to get my lover back and happiness. To my greatest surprise my lover came home on his knees that i should find a place in my heart to forgive him, I was truly astonished and shocked when my lover knelt down begging for forgiveness and for me to accept him back. I am really short of expressions, and I don't know how much to convey my appreciation to you Dr. Jumba. You are a God sent to restore a broken relationship, And now I'm a joyful woman. his contact details are; [email protected] Whatsapp number +27651108524 .

Hello everyone out there, I'm here to give my testimony about a herbalist doctor who helped me. I was infected with HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS in 2011, I went to many hospitals to heal myself but there was no solution, so I was thinking how I can get a solution so that my body can be well. One day I was in the river thinking about where I can go to get a solution. so a lady walked towards me telling me why I'm so sad and I open everything by telling her my problem, she told me she could help me, she introduced me to a doctor who uses herbal medicines to cure the SIMPLEX HERPES VIRUS and gave me your email, so I sent you an email. He told me everything I had to do and also gave me instructions to take, which I followed correctly. Before I knew what was happening after two weeks, the SIMPLEX HERPES VIRUS that was disappeared in my body. therefore, if you also have a broken heart and need help, you can also send an email to {[email protected]} or whatsapp him on +2347048515927 Contact him today and he will have a testimony ... Good luck!

I was really stressed by Acid reflux issues with my newborn and had consulted Chief Dr Lucky. He gave us a thorough consultation and the medicines were equally effective. In a couple of weeks there was big improvement in my son and we are very pleased with the progress. We cannot thank Chief Dr Lucky enough. Highly recommended.

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is [email protected] and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him

Hello, my name is Rachel Frye and I want to give this testimony in respect of Dr. Odunga who made me win $2 Million Dollars in Lottery by matching the 5 numbers for me. I am happy to be out of financial debt and be able to help my family in these seasonal period of fun and cheer. I contacted Dr. Odunga through Whats-App (+2348167159012) when I told him to help me win the Mega Millions and He told me that it would be spiritually checked if I will win the Lottery. When he informed me that I will not be able to win the Jackpot but I will win huge amount in the lottery I was not completely sad but had great faith in him. I live in Freeland, Saginaw County, Michigan and I would say it was pretty hard to send him the money for the spell before he gave me the winning numbers to play. He sent me the numbers and I played. The next morning after the drawing, I matched the five white balls in the Aug. 4 drawing to win $1 million: 11-30-45-52-56. Thanks to the Megaplier X2, my prize was multiplied to $2 million. Thank You Dr Odunga for this wonderful experience with you. You too can contact Dr. Odunga at his Whats-App +2348167159012 or Email: [email protected]
