Sad Streets: can places cause burnout? (May 15th)

Can certain places and buildings trigger physical inflammation and mental stress? Find out in our next Planning Forward webinar!

In our next online event we speak to author and neuroscientist Colin Ellard (University of Waterloo), and neuroarchitectural researcher Cleo Valentine (Cambridge University) on new developments in the field of ‘neuroarchitecture’, a relatively young discipline making big steps towards understanding how our minds interact with the built environment.

This webinar will focus on the relationship between the places that surround us and their impact on our mental and physical wellbeing, with fascinating new research uncovering important lessons for the future of architecture and urban design. Cleo and Colin will be joined by Samuel Hughes, and Create Streets director Nicholas Boys Smith.
