Abstract

The National Commission on Population in India foreseesthat in the next 15 years, more than 35%of Indians will live in urban areas. In 2021, by this time,air, waterpollution, andwater supply, city drainage has reached beyond the implied limit. Reviseddevelopment draft 2034 is showing additional spaces for schools, hospitals, crematoriums, ceremony halls, roads, andrelated connectivity. This is encroaching on the remaining land of green areas and open plots. Urbanism has no choice for developing countries. Development intechnology is often associated with adverse costslike social defragmentation, environmental ruins, pollution, and waste management disorder.Thoughtful applicationisconstructive if done rightly from its micro-level and implementedby investigation, it can encourage health, wellness, and efficiency.Duringthepandemic, research studies are explainingmental sicknesswhich isfaced by citizens while living alone,isolatedwithin four vertical planes. Neuro-architecture can be defined as built spacesdesigned with neuroscience principles, which establishes spaces that boost memory, develop thinking abilities, escape anxiety, and encouragethebrain.Developing spaces for better mental health playsa key role inrising happiness while spending life in urban cities. Sensation and perception are two isolatedprogressionsthat are meticulouslylinked. The sensation is a responsetothe outer sphereattainedby humansensory physical receptors, and perception is the methodby which the brain picks, arranges, and understandsthese sensations. In other words, the senses are the functionalbasis of awareness. Urban life could be better by improvingtheability of sensory receptors by providing more, bigger, enormous green spaces around.
