Abstract
This thesis focuses on designing cities that prioritise the interactive urban environment (UE)and social connections to create liveable, secure, healthy, and sustainable urban spaces. Previous studies have examined the relationship between sustainability, health, and happiness, focusing primarily on macro-level factors like air pollution, temperature, wind speed, ambient noise levels, economics, and life satisfaction. Consequently, this research aims to address the following question: How can urban planners establish cities that promote happiness, health, and overall quality of life? This research specifically explores these aspects in the context of Alexandria, Egypt, with a focus on mental health outcomes and the notions of an ”all-inclusive city.” Furthermore, the study examines the key elements of an inclusive city necessary for creating a happy city, including the concepts of a green city (GC), a blue city (BC), an active city (AC), a sensory city (SC), a neighbourly city (NC), and a playable city (PC). Methodologically, the research employs a systematic review approach, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative indicators to establish measurement tools and design principles for happier cities. This also highlights the importance of Alexandria’s history and how to restore it to promote happiness and tourism in the city. Six environmental aspects identified as having design implications for happiness in the case study area (Pharos promenade (PP)) include light, nature, access, surprise, sociality, and historical identity by resurrecting the identity and significance of the Citadel of Qaitbay (CoQ), and the researcher also suggested using 3D hologram technology (3DHT) to restore the Lighthouse of Alexandria (LoA), which is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World in Alexandria, Egypt. That will be applied with the aid of artificial intelligence (AI). Ultimately, the dissertation proposes a new framework for healthier and happier city design and general recommendations for architects, urban designers, and decision-makers to design happier cities in the future while prioritising people’s health and happiness and addressing the city’s identity.
