Topic: The "Good Enough" Place: Envisioning a Healthy Urban Habitat

Description: The psychology of place suggests that specific attributes of place will affect human actions and interactions within their boundaries. A "good enough" place will facilitate healthy actions while a toxic place will act in the opposite manner. I'll use this as my platform and framework to discuss and storytell climate justice as it impacts African Americans.
