Neurourbanism is an emerging interdisciplinary field that studies how urban environments influence the brain, mental health, and human behavior. It integrates knowledge from neuroscience, psychiatry, urbanism, architecture, and social sciences to understand how factors such as urban density, social stress, public space, and contact with nature affect psychological well-being in cities. This approach seeks to generate scientific evidence to guide the design and planning of healthier cities.
