Social Sciences

This book discusses how people experience and inhabit high-density and high-rise urban environments, drawing on current literature about the psychological, physical, and environmental health impacts. It brings a novel exploration of the evolving definitions of space and new ways of socializing within vertical urban settings, coupled with a cutting-edge approach focused on applying neuroscience principles to urban design. International case studies from Singapore, Seoul, and Hong Kong convey useful lessons for the urban design and morphology of high-density cities.
