Abstract:
By 2050, another 2.5 billion people are expected to live in urban areas. To fulfill the needs of urban population growth, policymakers are planning new housing projects and urban revitalization. As urban dwellers have often been found at higher risk for depression and anxiety, it would be interesting to consider: Does the urban environment in general create stress, or possibly relieve stress? How is living in a ten-story apartment in the downtown associated with mental health differently from living in a suburban townhouse? These questions have been difficult to answer because data on historical urban structures are often lacking. Fortunately, satellite images provide a big data source to quantify urban structure and its subtle changes. Through these interdisciplinary studies I dived in during my PhD, I will introduce “urban form” and focus on the following questions (1) What is it? (2) How to monitor it? (3) What are the implications of it for mental well-being?
