URBAN PLANNING, ARCHITECTURE, NATURE IN CITIES & MENTAL HEALTH
Three hundred million people worldwide suffer from depression. Could this be related to the fact that more than half of the world’s population now lives in cities? If the current demographic trend continues, city populations will continue to grow and there will be more megacities. Mass urbanisation, combined with the consequences of climate change, poses a threat to the mental health of human populations. How can cities be made more inclusive? How should future cities be planned?

ART, CULTURE & MENTAL HEALTH
“Bringing art into people’s lives through activities such as dancing, singing, visiting museums and attending concerts offers us an additional key to improving our physical and mental health”, explains Dr Piroska ÖSTLIN, WHO Regional Director for Europe. The positive impact of physical activity and sport has long been recognised as beneficial to several dimensions of mental health. Could access to culture and to artistic and cultural practices, which have long been areas of intervention for urban policy, also be a way of improving the mental health of inhabitants?

Afternoon
VULNERABLE POPULATIONS & MENTAL HEALTH
Severe mental health issues tend to lead to precariousness because they affect interpersonal and social skills. Precariousness itself is a source of suffering and stress which tends to damage mental health. As an example of this vicious circle, we naturally think of homeless people, but vulnerable populations are not limited to those who live in extreme situations. People are vulnerable when they are subjected to a risk while others are not. Lack of shelter, money, work and social interaction are all risk factors in terms of mental health. How can cities respond to these inequalities?
