Investigating the relationship between architecture and public health in urban environments. MSC

Abstract:
This research project aims to investigate the relationship between architecture and public health in urban environments. With the rapid urbanization and increasing health concerns in cities, understanding how architectural design can impact public health becomes crucial. The study will explore various aspects such as the design of public spaces, building layouts, access to natural light and ventilation, and the integration of green spaces. By examining existing literature, conducting surveys, and analyzing case studies, this research seeks to provide valuable insights into how architecture can contribute to creating healthier urban environments.
