Happy City Labs: Liveability research

Urban researchers from Happy City help governments, city builders and city dwellers create places that are better for everyone. The way buildings, neighbourhoods and cities are designed has profound effects on health and happiness. Drawing on a decade of research, Happy City offers evidence and examples to inspire designers, decision makers and city dwellers to embrace happy design.

From the onset, Happy City has been helping shape the look and feel of Tomo House. Tomo incorporated nearly all the suggestions in Happy City’s multifamily design Tool Kit to maximize sociability in our building and on our grounds.
