eMOTIONAL Cities Taking-home messages
Interdisciplinary Collaboration is Essential
Addressing complex urban health issues requires a multidisciplinary approach, combining urban planning, neuroscience, and data science to develop holistic solutions. A systemic approach, human-centred, data monitoring, and the use of advanced urban analytics and tools, are critical for urban development in a context marked by climate change, global urbanization, and biodiversity loss.
Urban Design Impact on Health
The project's findings underscore the significant influence of urban environments on mental and physical health, highlighting the need for thoughtful urban planning and integration of health data in planning and design processes, to create spaces that promote cognitive performance, mental health and wellbeing.
Inclusivity in Urban Spaces
Designing urban areas that consider the diverse needs of all citizens, including vulnerable populations, is crucial for fostering inclusive and healthy communities.
