Mindy Thompson Fullilove, MD, is an American research psychiatrist who focuses on the ways social and environmental factors affect the mental health of communities. She is Professor of Urban Policy and Health, Urban Policy Analysis & Management Program, Milano School for International Affairs, Management & Urban policy, The New School. She has numerous published articles and six books, including URBAN ALCHEMY: Restoring Joy in America's Sorted-Out Cities and ROOT SHOCK: How Tearing Up City neighborhoods Hurts America and What We Can Do About It.
"Her [Mindy Fullilove's] baseline concern with the dignity and
wisdom of individuals, as well as the absolute necessity of
broad-based consensus building, puts her approach on a clear moral
high ground to which every urban planner and builder ought to give
greater commitment, because it's right and because it works. "Urban
Alchemy" emerges as a book because years of working to counteract
the ills of urban destruction have yielded significant successes in
the form of insights, relationships, spaces and even, with the help
of collaborators, some buildings. Yet Dr. Fullilove's grounding in
disciplines outside urban design results in a complex and
multivalent work. To some degree, it is a handbook, with a
nine-point instruction list for how to improve cities, starting
with "Keep the Whole City in Mind," continuing through "Unpuzzle
the Fractured Space" and ending with "Celebrate Your
Accomplishments.""
