The $1 million study was commissioned by URA and HDB.

SINGAPORE – The Agency for Science, Technology and Research will study over three years the impact of the urban environment on mental health, announced Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat on June 3.

The mental health study was awarded to A*Star in May 2024, and will be carried out by the agency’s Singapore Institute of Clinical Sciences. “This project aims to expand this knowledge by investigating other aspects of the built environment more holistically, and their impacts on mental well-being.” MND said that the four studies have “collected extensive data from the study participants using validated questionnaires, including mental well-being indicators”.
