How this trend held up
This trend has become thoroughly mainstream. The WELL Building Standard the book cites as a fringe experiment is now a globally recognized certification used across thousands of commercial and residential projects, Walk Score is a standard field on real-estate listing sites like Zillow and Redfin, and the post-pandemic surge in demand for home air quality, natural light, and outdoor access accelerated exactly the shift the book described. If anything, "healthy real estate" undersold how central wellness criteria would become to how — and where — people choose to live.
