Novel strategies and models are required for future urban spaces to properly respond to human evolution, environmental conditions, and social dynamics. Transforming technologies will play an important role in making cities more livable by addressing current emotional challenges and empowering mental health. Transforming cities aim at improving wellbeing across societies through purposefully designed urban innovations that successfully blend technological advancements with human nature. To achieve that, a science-driven Transforming Framework has been developed at the renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT Media Lab) to equip practitioners and designers of technology to create urban innovations that last.
