Paperback. Zustand: Good. Overcrowding, noise and air pollution, long commutes and lack of daylight can take a huge toll on the mental well-being of city-dwellers.

The restrictions faced by city residents around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic has brought home just how much urban design can affect our mental health ? and created an imperative to seize this opportunity.Restorative Cities explores a new way of designing cities, one which places mental health and wellness at the forefront. Establishing a blueprint for urban design for mental health, it examines a range of strategies ? from sensory architecture to place-making for creativity and community ? and brings a genuinely evidence-based approach that will appeal to designers and planners, health practitioners and researchers alike - and provide compelling insights for anyone who cares about how our surroundings affect us.
