Current city living and upbringing in urban environments have been related to various manifestations of stress and a higher risk of mental health problems. Lederbogen et al. (2013), for instance, have named a set of influencing factors for urban social stress such as infrastructure, socio-economic factors, and noise and environmental pollution. Yang and Matthews (2010) explored the associations of social and built environment determinants with self-rated stress, finding that social stress research can be expanded in scope if measures of the built environment are included. A systematic review from Gong et al. (2016) focused on the relationship between objective measurements of the urban environment and psychological distress. They demand that future work look at the spatial-temporal dynamic of the urban environment measured in GIS in relation to psychological distress.
