An article about eMOTIONAL Cities project was published on January 14th on the SMARTCITIES Magazine. It highlighted that during the next four years, the eMOTIONAL Cities project will attempt to understand how the urban environment affects people's mental health, in particular those who suffer from mild cognitive impairment. More than finding a therapy for these patients the aim is to make urban planning more preventive in this matter.
