Abstract
Today over a half of the world’s population lives in cities, where dense building surrounds the individual and makes architecture an integral part of one’s life. Although the influence of architecture and urban planning on human functioning and psyche seems obvious, research on this subject began to be carried out, just over half a century ago. Therefore, this article was devoted to the presentation of information on the relationship between the manner of shaping land development plans and buildings, aiming at providing the safety and comfort of urban residents. The focus was on the aspect of density and construction height, urban greenery solutions and ways of arranging space, meant to improve and humanize housing conditions, to care for the psyche and physical health of city residents.
