ABOUT US

ABOUT US

The Centre for Urban Design and Mental Health (UD/MH) is a start-up think tank focused on answering one question: how can we design better mental health into our cities? 

More people are living and working in urban environments than ever before - and these environments affect how we feel. Urban design by architects, transport designers, city planners, developers, interior designers, urban gardeners, street artists, and many more impact our mental health as we move around our built environments. 

The Centre for Urban Design and Mental Health:

  • Reviews the breadth of research on urban design and mental health, summarizes, and identifies gaps
  • Catalyses interdisciplinary dialogue on urban design and mental health in cities around the world 
  • Showcases successful projects and innovative ideas
  • Develops practical, evidence-based recommendations to improve mental health and reduce mental illness through urban design

UD/MH launched in July 2015. The slides below are a summary of our current work and ideas.
