Do you like how you feel about your city? Like literally "feel" with your human body...

Historically, urban planning frameworks relied heavily on visual and spatial configuration. This study bridges that critical gap by investigating the full spectrum of human sensory experience in the built environment. ->It's about how we feel in cities, not just how we see them. #urbanism #walking #urbanform #urbansystem #pedestrian #walkability #urbanmobility #multisensory
