1. Introductory Matter
2. Urbanization is Here
3. Urban Malaise: Explorations of Problems and Dissatisfaction with City Life
4. Biophilia: Need for Contact With Nature
5. Summary, Conclusion, Discussion and Future Research
This book is about places - cities, suburbs and towns - and happiness of people living there. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Okulicz-Kozaryn examines the relations between human happiness and the infrastructure of the places they live. This thought-provoking book argues for the overlooked idea that we are happiest in smaller areas.
