City Case Studies
Urban design and mental health city case studies examine how different cities around the world apply the key principles of urban design towards population mental health. They provide insight, spotlight innovation, identify opportunities for that city to improve population mental health, and offer lessons for other cities. They are conducted using the UD/MH city case study method.
