This free course looks at how where people live affects their well-being. This includes the kind of neighbourhood people live in, how places are organised and run, as well as the detail of the layout of buildings. You will learn about some of the ways that psychologists explain the links between places and well-being. This includes some of the ways places might make it easier or harder to have good relationships, to have contact with nature, to feel relaxed and restored, and to feel valued and have power.
