We design cities for movement.
What if we designed them for how people feel?
Cities shape more about your inner life than most people realize — not just where you live, but how calm, safe, connected, oriented, and free you feel simply moving through them. Neurourbanism has increasingly shown that the built environment can influence mental wellbeing. What's been missing is a way to actually design for it.
BEHIND THE CITY IS THAT METHOD
A way to read cities street by street through five psychological lenses and translate what's missing into real, repeatable interventions
Not a fix for one street. A way of designing the whole city, one street at a time.
