“…Numerous works of literature has investigated on the relationship between characteristics of the urban physical environment and physical health (Fisher et al, 2017;Lau et al, 2018;Ling et al, 2020;Nurul Ashikin et al, 2018;Richardson et al, 2013). Nevertheless, little is known about the effects of urban planning on the mental health of the urban population (Adli et al, 2017;Gruebner et al, 2017).…”

The health impacts of the development and environment have been widely assessed, but little is known about the impact of physical characteristics of urban planning on people's mental well-being. Thus, this research is crucial to understand the mental health challenges of urban population in Malaysia. The objective of this research is to examine the influence of urban planning on mental health, particularly the attributes of urban planning, density and land use, as well as their potential relation to psychological stress, depression and anxiety. The study was carried out at low-cost flats at Pantai Dalam in Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur. Besides the secondary data collection and site observation, a survey in a form of questionnaire that used Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) was distributed. The findings showed that density and land use contributed to mental disorders. The research findings can be applied by government agencies, professionals and private sectors to plan healthier urban physical environment. This research will add to the growing literature that suggests the importance of the built environment in shaping mental health.

“…Globally, research have been carried out in relation to urban land use and activities, healthy lifestyle (especially physical activity), and health/well-being (Richardson, Pearce, Mitchell, & Kingham, 2013;Soga, et al, 2017;Lau, Goodloe, Eatman-Williams, Dudovitz, & Wentz, 2018;Sarkar & Webster, 2017). In New Zealand, for instance, it was found that neighbourhood design and land use pattern affect health where residents of the greenest urban neighbourhoods had significantly lower risks of having poor mental health than those in the least green areas, suggesting a dose-response relationship (Richardson et al, 2013).…”

The natural ecosystems are increasingly being replaced by urban built-up area due to fast urbanisation. The urban development pressure brought urban areas to the uncontrolled built environment which, in turn, significantly compromises the quality of public spaces and facilities. Furthermore, the urban environment discourages active living. Thus, research on the relationship between urbanisation and physical health is rapidly coming to the force. Urbanisation can have detrimental effects, particularly on physical health, which further attributed to unsustainable urban development. A study was carried out at Sri Pahang Public Housing (Flat), Kuala Lumpur with the aim to investigate the healthy lifestyle among residents and the relationship with the public facilities available at study area for the physical activity. Data was obtained through questionnaire survey. The relationship between healthy lifestyle particularly the level of physical activity and the facilities in the study area was analysed using correlation test. It was found that most of the respondents were physically inactive and their healthy lifestyle can be related to the planning aspects of facilities in the study area.
