A
city
is
a
vastly
complicated
network
of
human
interactions—between
individuals,
groups,
and
the
physical
design
of
city
spaces.
Understanding
how
this
network
functions,
and
how
urban
design
influences
human
health,
wellbeing,
and
happiness
can
help
make
better
cities.
In
the
Urban
Realities
Laboratory
at
the
University
of
Waterloo,
our
team,
lead
by
Dr.
Colin
Ellard,
specializes
in
measuring
the
relationships
between
human
behaviour
and
urban
design
using
a
unique
approach:
rather
than
using
the
traditional
methods
of
experimental
psychology,
we
measure
urban
behaviour
where
it
actually
happens—out
on
the
street.
