    Architects, however, are beginning to understand this stress and are adapting their construction and renovation designs to help boost urban residents’ mental health. Roof tops and balconies are ideal retreats for city dwellers.

    These spaces are excellent options for gardens, recreational areas, and green escapes. The building itself should also be strategically planned to boost residents’ mental health and connect them with the outside. Large windows, skylights, and high ceilings combine to give the space an airy and expansive feeling.
