Salutogenese – Das Jahrbuch der KIT-Fakultät für Architektur 2021

Green and Psyche in Cities
Prof. Christian Inderbitzin
Prof. Dr. Joaquín Medina Warmburg
The interview with Prof. Dr. Andreas Meyer-Lindenberg,
Director of the Central Institute of Mental Health in Mannheim,
Prof. Christian Inderbitzin and Prof. Joaquín Medina
Warmburg deals with salutogenesis and the relevance of
architecture and urban planning as measures and factors
that are conducive to physical and mental health from the
perspective of medicine, especially with regard to mental
well-being.
The debate of architecture in the context of psychiatry tried
to find out what constitutes a health-promoting environment
and already has a long tradition in Baden-Württemberg.
Prof. Dr. Andreas Meyer-Lindenberg explains different
research results that confirm the assumption that social
interaction and urban green spaces are positive, healthpromoting
factors of the urban environment, but at the
same time, the high diversity of cities represents a stress
factor that cannot be denied.
