Research Platform Neurourbanism

The Research Platform Neurourbanism (RPN) received funding wirhin the Grand Challenge Call “Global Health” of the Berlin University Alliance (BUA) for a project on “Exploring and Designing Urban Density. Neurourbanism as a Novel Approach in Global Mental Health.“ The main aim is to define a new research field that can address the pressing issues of city living in the 21st century. The methodologies broadly belong to the field of cognitive science, which spans from philosophy to cognitive neuroscience and medicine as well as to the humanities, architecture and urban planning.

Theory & Framework

We will develop a theory of urbanism more broadly construed than sociological or urban studies (PI: Joerg Fingerhut).

Big Data Analytics

We will re-assess the existing large database to asses how genetics, environment, and mental health interact (PI: Dagmar Haase, Stephan Ripke).

Citizen Science

We will generate new subjective data together with Berlin, Bengalore and Santiago de Chile citizens using the “Your Emotional City” App (PI: Mazda Adli, Joerg Fingerhut, Ulrike Kluge).

Experiments and Interventions

We will study interactions between environmental density factors and well-being by implementing neuroscientific experiments and staging urban interventions (PI: Klaus Gramann, Angela Million).

Interdisciplinary Forum Neurourbanism e.V.

From knowledge to change: The Interdisciplinary Forum Neurourbanistik e.V. is an association of scientists and practitioners from the fields of psychiatry, urban planning, psychology, neuroscience, architecture, sociology, philosophy, and ethnography.

​Together with interdisciplinary partners from politics, society, and administration, we work to bring findings from research into practice. To this end, we organize regular get-togethers and events, publish reports, and hold background discussions with responsible people.
