Neuroaesthetics merges aesthetics with neuroscience to explain how sensory experiences affect the brain. When applied to urban environments, it examines the ways in which sensory aspects of architecture and other features of cities influence responses through perception, stress, cognition, and social interactions. Cities can drive you crazy with noise, pollution, and stress, but they also offer colors, lights, and fractal structures whose repeating patterns have been shown to be therapeutic. Unfortunately, environments that promote mental wellness are not accessible to everyone. Previous studies show that aesthetic deprivation in low-income and marginalized urban communities can make other disadvantages, like environmental stress, even worse.
