Mindy Thompson Fullilove - Beyond Rootshock

CityWorks (X)po is an interactive summit of people involved in and passionate about the work of creating vibrant, dynamic, wonderful communities that takes place each October in Roanoke, Virginia.

What if divided neighborhoods were causing public health problems? What if a new approach to planning and design could tackle both the built environment and collective well-being at the same time? What if cities could help each other? Dr. Mindy Thompson Fullilove uses her unique perspective as a public health psychiatrist to explore ways of healing social and spatial fractures simultaneously.
Professor of Clinical Sociomedical Sciences at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, Dr. Fullilove has published numerous articles and six books including "Urban Alchemy: Restoring Joy in America's Sorted-Out Cities," "Root Shock: How Tearing Up City Neighborhoods Hurts America and What We Can Do About It," and "House of Joshua: Meditations on Family and Place."
