Contribution
Adam Scott, McNeill Common Good Fellow.

The McNeill Common Good Fellowship record includes trauma-informed low-income housing research and studies of biophilic urbanism in Japan and Singapore.

The résumé records a 379-mile New York City-to-Washington, D.C. walking study of infrastructure and neighborhoods. Walking provided a way to observe urban nature and continuity between places; the distance has not been independently reconstructed from GPS data.

Rooted Cities develops the urban-nature inquiry into a paper, represented here by a research summary.
