I like this question. I think that proper urban planning has a great influence on people's well-being because when your home is not far from the grocery store or the pharmacy and all the things that people need on a daily basis, it's really nice. You save time. Also, good planning includes adding more green spaces. It's really nice to be surrounded not only by gray buildings but also by trees and maybe a river.
