This captivating book delves into the intricate interplay between psychological, neuroscientific, and philosophical perspectives, shedding light on the design of contemporary cities. By adopting an innovative and multidisciplinary approach, it seeks to rekindle the importance of knowledge and creativity as the cornerstone of human communities. Dwelling, a profound form of knowledge and re-invention of reality, encompasses both the tangible aspects of physical spaces and their mental representations. Recent findings in the neuroscientific realm offer exciting insights into the design of spaces, emphasizing the profound connection between our ability to understand others and our corporeal existence.

The first part of the book explores the diverse contributions of various disciplines that engage with the spatial dimension, highlighting the complementary roles that science and art can play from a multidisciplinary perspective. In turn, the second part presents proposals aimed at promoting greater integration between the aesthetic and cultural dimensions in spatial design. With its broad scope, this book is a valuable resource for scholars, academics, and practitioners involved in the planning, designing, and construction of spaces. It will foster an international exchange of research, case studies, and theoretical reflections, empowering individuals to create conscious places that nurture communities' growth and well-being.
