Behavioral Urbanism

Behavioral Urbanism is an approach that studies how people actually behave and make decisions in city environments, rather than just designing based on abstract plans. It considers factors like movement patterns, social interactions, and daily routines to create urban spaces that better meet residents’ needs. By understanding human behavior, urban planners can develop cities that are more functional, accessible, and enjoyable—encouraging activities like walking, socializing, and community engagement—ultimately making urban life more efficient and satisfying for everyone.
