How do we not only build more homes but also create pleasant neighbourhoods? 'Cities for Well-being' introduces an evidence-based approach to creating people-centred living environments. This book delves into the relationship between housing density and human well-being. Deploying technologies from the field of neuroarchitecture and AI along with interviews and spatial research, it reveals how the built environment influences our experience and mental health. Spatial analysis of ten Dutch housing projects, including Overhoeks in Amsterdam, Merwede in Utrecht, Little C in Rotterdam and Duin in Almere, yields a number of practical guidelines. Discover the best ways of actively improving the health of city dwellers.
