Neuroarchitecture is a new book that tackles the issue of designing the streets in large-scale housing projects so that they retain a human scale. In order to undertake this the book explores the new hybrid field of neuroarchitecture in which researchers use advanced technology to find out how the body responds to sensory stimuli from the built environment.

Neuroarchitecture introduces the discipline and systematically analyses examples of high-density streets in Western cities like Amsterdam, Toronto, Manchester and Osloto determine what design solutions have been employed there and how the places are experienced visually. Neuroarchitecture challenges conventional design guidelines and offers practical tips for enhancing the human scale of densely built environments.
