The goal of urban stress research is not only to understand its causes but also to change how we plan cities, says researcher Tadeáš Dvořák
Tadeáš Dvořák first studied psychology at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom, where he examined the influence of the city and its factors on human thinking. He did not abandon the research topic but decided to expand it with a biological basis – he was interested in what exactly happens in the body during these processes. In the interview, he explains what urban stress research entails, how it can be objectively measured, and why such research is important for our health.
