> Planning's effects on mental health are just beginning to be appreciated.
Indeed. OP may want to take a look at Charles Montgomery's book Happy City for inspiration on how psychology and planning intertwine. It is an easy read too.
I'm new to reddit, so apologies if anyone has posted this already, but there's an amazing book out there by Canadian author Charles Montgomery called Happy City that discusses this whole topic in great detail. It's written in a very consumable manner and is positive without being preachy - highly recommended for anyone interested in getting some of the facts behind the re-urbanization trend. Makes one hopeful for Toronto.

Happy City is brilliant. About 25% through it and I love it.
