Hi everyone! This is Kathryn, looking forward to discussing This is Where You Belong: The Art and Science of Loving the Place You Live by Melody Warnick! Here is a basic summary of the book: author moves a lot, author gets tired of moving, author wonders, "how does one fall in love with one's community?"
The art of "placemaking," or making a home for yourself, has received a lot of attention in the past decade or so. The author talks about things you may have seen in the news, such as walkable neighbourhoods, urban exploration, wayfinding signs, eating local, etc. But what do all these things mean? What really makes us happy and feel at home in our towns? I hope we can dive into these questions this month! I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
