“Can the shape of your city affect how happy you are?” Yes, says award-winning journalist, urban experimentalist, and author of the forthcoming Happy City, Charles Montgomery. TheTerwilliger Center for Housing is pleased to announce that Charles Montgomery will be speaking as a keynote at Housing Opportunity 2013.

Montgomery explores how urban form, and specifically the places that we live, define our happiness through a multi-disciplinary exploration of housing, community and urban dwelling. Hear about how Montgomery combines psychology, neuroscience and behavioral economics in to his study of cityscapes and what makes people happy. From Disneyland to Dubai, Montgomery will take Housing Opportunity 2013 attendees on a round-the-world journey of the world’s happiest places. Don’t miss out on this fantastic keynote address and more at Housing Opportunity 2013!
