SUSTAINABLE URBANISM I UND VERTIEFUNG | WINTER 2019/20

How does an urban setting affect our psyche? Do mental conditions influence urban decision-making? Students of architecture, landscape architecture and urbanism from TUM left their beaten paths in the winter of 2019/20 visiting the “mentally urban” lecture series, which focused on the interdependence of urban design and mental health – a so far scarcely addressed combo. Experts from various disciplines shared their perspective on how the mental and the urban interlink. In the concurrent seminar a group of students amplified all the exciting lecture input in edifying discussions with us. This magazine is the result. Issue #1 is a collection of written articles, interviews, reports of site visits and movie reviews, stating first thoughts, gaining knowledge and making observations on the topic “mentally urban”.
