Psychology, medicine, and pedagogy show how space design can nurture or damage our well-being. A scientific knowledge, both theoretical and practical, of how human neurophysiology reacts to the organisation and the shapes of space, is the first step for producing a really sustainable design for the 21st century. The proposed presentation aims illustrate <a href=\"http:\/\/www.biourbanism.org\">Biourbanism\u2019s<\/a> fundamental principles, and how their application can improve the quality of the urban environment in terms of neurophysiological health, social satisfaction, and in support urban resilience.<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container-4x3\"><iframe src=\"\/\/www.slideshare.net\/slideshow\/embed_code\/key\/sWqvxPqcRtiw8t\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"> <\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2>Rapid talks<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"ruled\">Urban space: a mental health perspective<a id=\"4\"><\/a><\/h3>\n<h4>Dr Georgina Hosang, Goldsmiths, University of London<\/h4>\n<p>Rates of mental illnesses are higher in cities compared to rural areas.
