What makes cities good or bad for mental health?
The Midtown Manhattan Study found that mental illness was common in New York City.There is much interest today in the positive effects nature can have on mental health. During the pandemic, people fortunate enough to have access to the countryside, parks, or bodies of water found solace in nature. Seeing deer, foxes, and even bears tentatively explore abandoned urban spaces filled many people with wonder.
This is a question that social scientists have been asking for well over a century. One of the first forays into the subject came from the German sociologist Georg Simmel , who wrote an influential essay in 1903 entitled. Simmel argued that city living altered our mental state, not necessarily for good or ill.during the 1920s and 1930s, also explored the topic. These studies focused on social problems that emerged in cities but did not necessarily blame cities themselves for these problems.
The situation was very different for people occupying the lower tiers of society. Less than 5 percent of them were deemed to be mentally well. Nearly half were impaired by mental illness, and 9.3 percent were incapacitated.
