Health + Environment: healthy neighborhoods

​

Urban blight and "broken windows" in abandoned buildings, waste on streets, lack of sewage systems are the key factors in chronic health problems.

​

City Doctors approach engages communities and neighbors in rebuilding their blocks, cleaning up streets not only with machines, but with jobs that keep people self-reliant and off the streets.

​

Like the "escobitas" in Colombia, neighbors are empowered with instant communication and social connections to keep their streets and common spaces clean and safe.

​

Neighbors engage in ending "food deserts" and replacing junk food with fresh groceries grown in urban gardens and orchards.
