For this publication, we invited submissions exploring the intersections of urban design, urban planning, landscape design, architecture, and mental health, with a focus on historical insights, theoretical frameworks, innovative design strategies, and empirical research. Emphasizing the integration of historical knowledge, conceptual theoretical paradigms, avant-garde design methodologies, and rigorous empirical or evidence-based analysis, this volume will bring together a diverse collection of contributions, examining how historical perspectives on urban design can inform modern innovations that affect mental well-being. Through this journal, we aim to advance discourse in the field and highlight practical applications that bridge wisdom, creative and critical thinking to foster healthier environments.
