Seeking partners for a project focused on public health, particularly mental health and its connection to spatial design and community building. Seeking partners for a project focused on public health, particularly mental health and its connection to spatial design and community building.

The proposed project explores the intersection of public health—particularly mental health—and spatial design, with a focus on how built environments can actively support well-being and social cohesion. It aims to develop interdisciplinary approaches that integrate human-centred design, environmental psychology and community engagement into the planning and transformation of spaces. The project seeks to identify design strategies that foster everyday well-being, reduce stress and enhance social interaction across diverse user groups. By combining research, case studies and participatory methods, it will contribute to the development of evidence-based guidelines for healthier, more inclusive and resilient environments.We are looking for partners from academia, practice and public sector to collaboratively shape innovative solutions at the nexus of health, design and community.
