If you live in a city, you’re probably packed in by tall buildings and infrastructure. If you live in a suburb, everything is pretty spread out, where sometimes, things can be difficult to get to. Either of these can leave people feeling isolated and void of something that feels cozy and communal.

Why does this matter? Well, the neighborhood you live in affects just about every aspect of your health and happiness.

According to architects, the perfect neighborhood combines the best of human civilization, culture, and creativity.
