Abstract
Neurourbanism represents a convergence of neuroscience, urban studies, and social sciences aimed at fostering the development of more livable and sustainable cities. This emerging discipline equips biologists, city planners, psychologists, and social scientists with insights into how urban infrastructure influences public health, emotional well-being, and behavioral patterns. A significant emphasis is placed on neurobiological mechanisms related to the perception of urban environments. The exploration includes an examination of cutting-edge research utilizing brain-imaging techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG), as well as eye tracking, along with an analysis of the theoretical frameworks that underpin these methodologies.
