While the well-being of urban residents stands as a pivotal component of a socially sustainable city, studies reveal a concerning trend: the mental health of girls and young women living in cities is deteriorating. Urban Mind is a research project at Henning Larsen addressing a chronically neglected area of urban planning; how urban design impacts the health and wellbeing of teenage girls. There is a pressing need for the industry to better accommodate the diverse needs of its users, providing spaces where everyone can thrive. The research project has set out to address these issues, envisioning a future that prioritizes the well-being and empowerment of young women. The research project seeks to challenge and diversify the narratives about teenage girls. Rather than generalizing their needs, attention was turned to their rich and nuanced lived experiences. As a result, the team has created two open-source guides containing principles for design as well as methodology surrounding participation processes for designing urban spaces with the well-being of teenage girls in mind. A special thank you to our partners The National Institute of Public Health (Denmark), @sdusonderborg, and our supporters the Ramboll Foundation. Find both of the guides and more information in our bio.
