Capture a deeper understanding of how places shape people with Environmental Psychology and Human Well-Being, 2nd Edition by Ann Sloan Devlin. This newly updated edition brings together current research, practical frameworks, and real-world examples to show how design, policy, and everyday environments influence mental and physical health.

Explore clear explanations of core concepts—attention restoration, place attachment, crowding, noise, and restorative design—paired with evidence-based strategies for improving homes, workplaces, schools, hospitals, and public spaces. Devlin translates complex theory into actionable guidance for professionals and students alike: urban planners, architects, landscape designers, public-health practitioners, and community leaders will find practical tools to promote resilience, comfort, and social connection.

Rich case studies and applied recommendations demonstrate measurable ways to enhance well-being across diverse settings—from dense urban centers to rural communities—making the book relevant for readers across North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond. Emphasis on sustainable, inclusive approaches ensures that design interventions support equity and long-term health outcomes.

Whether you’re preparing a design brief, teaching a course, or shaping policy, this edition equips you to make environments that foster attention, reduce stress, and encourage positive behavior.
