Well-Being by Design, Globally

Well-Being and Its Importance to the Crisis at Hand


In today’s rapidly urbanizing world, the importance of wellbeing cannot be overstated. As cities expand and populations grow, urban environments increasingly face challenges such as pollution, mental health crises, social inequality, and economic instability. According to the WHO, approximately 264 million people globally suffer from depression, contributing to the $1 trillion annual cost in lost productivity due to mental health disorders. Additionally, the UN reports that urbanization poses significant challenges to health equity and environmental sustainability. These statistics underscore the urgent need for comprehensive approaches to enhance urban wellbeing. By focusing on the holistic health and happiness of citizens, we can build resilient communities that are better equipped to withstand and recover from these crises.
