The project will also include interviews with local community members to explore the history of the area and discover how it has changed over the years. This will help to create a more nuanced understanding of how the design of our neighborhoods shapes young people's mental health and well-being in a post-COVID-19 world. Additionally, the project will include research on best practices for designing and creating physical and digital spaces to promote mental health and well-being. The findings from this research will be used to create actionable recommendations for local government, property developers, and other stakeholders on how to create better, more inclusive and supportive urban landscapes for young people in the post-COVID-19 world.
