Placemaking for urban wellbeing, generating positive experiences in the everyday
Asmita Patnaik
(Kamla Raheja Vidyanidhi Institute for Architecture, Mumbai)
Paper short abstract:
I would like to discuss the impact of urban stress and the possibilities of joy and wellbeing within the unmitigated fabric of Mumbai, India. The study is developed into an architectural intervention where the possibility of improving wellbeing through creating desirable public spaces.
Paper long abstract:
By 2025, National Institute of Mental Health and Awareness Report 2018(NIMHANS) predicts 38.1 million years of healthy life will be lost to mental illness in India.
The pandemic in the past two years has further highlighted the Issue of mental health and psychological stress. The lockdown brought the city that never sleeps to a full stop, stimulating how the overly populated public transport system and the constant traffic in Mumbai has the citizens bereft. Today, the answer to Mumbai's development is to optimize planning to serve as engines of economic development creating derivative and uninspired urban spaces.
This combined with the stressful urban lifestyle creates a state of psychological discomfort which leads to palpating urban stress and anxiety in metros.
This conversation brings forth a paradigm shift in the way we look at our cities, to consciously rebuilding the fabric to bring subjective wellbeing at the locus of planning and design.
The research is an exploration of experience to a spatial setting, where urban environment is understood as an experience which has an emotional stimulus to understand what is necessary to facilitate urban happiness and wellbeing within the work-live paradigm in the socially incoherent city life. From this exploration , the importance of creating pro-social spaces in the construction of joy came through, in the daily movements.
As a person's movement in a city often becomes very controlled within the work - live transect, the study looks into the opportunity of railway station becoming a space for wellbeing oriented development.
