Reducing the global suicide mortality rate by a third by 2030 is a target of both the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the WHO Global Mental Health Action Plan. However, an impediment to meeting this goal is the fact that suicide and suicide attempts remain illegal in at least 23 countries worldwide. A fundamental consequence of the criminalization of suicide and suicide attempts is that it deters people from seeking timely help and accessing interventions due to fear of legal repercussions and stigma.

This book examines how institutional and environmental features in neighbourhoods can contribute to social resilience, highlighting the related socio-demographic issues, as well as the infrastructure, planning, design and policies issues. It is divided into three themes – infrastructure, planning, and community. Infrastructure examines how physical features such as parks and street patterns influence neighborliness and resilience, while planning studies how urban design enhances social interactions. Lastly, community discusses policies that can forge social bonds, either through racial integration, grassroots activities, or social service. Overall, the book combines research and empirical work with scholarly models of resilience and governance philosophy, focusing on Singapore’s urban planning and social policies.

What makes this chess book different? I believe this is the first book of its kind about chess. So many focus on the best games, or openings, middlegames and endgames to study.

This book focuses on the chess history of a British state school, which celebrates its 140-year anniversary in 2023 – King Edward’s Camp Hill School for Boys in Birmin...
