Award-winning journalist Charles Montgomery will speak Wednesday, May 8, at 7 p.m. at the Queen Anne United Methodist Church (1606 Fifth Ave. W.) on how the shape of a city can affect personal happiness.
In psychology, neuroscience and behavioral economics, and in cityscapes from Disneyland to Dubai, Montgomery (author of “Happy City,” forthcoming from FSG this year) finds the link between the ways we think about risk and reward and the ways we design our cities. In his work, Montgomery has used insights in happiness science to drive high-profile experiments that help citizens transform their relationships with each other and their cities.
This lecture is part of the church’s “Food, Faith and Planet” series.
Tickets are available for $10 through Brown Paper Tickets
