【Webinar】ECRs in Sustainability Science, Session 4: Urban and Environment

S4-3 How does the risk of depression change across urban form? A case study of Denmark and beyond

How are urbanLandscapes associated with mental health? This presentation answers the question through a study based on high-resolution building density and height data derived from machine learning of satellite time-series data. Linkage with residential and mental health records allows capturing individual longitudinal exposure to urban form and estimating relative risks for developing depressive disorders. These results highlight how AI and satellite imagery analysis can deepen understanding of urban mental health and reveal ways for urban planning to improve it.
