Well, it I think there are many ways that construction planning and public spaces can affect the health of mental health of city people because for example if there’s a construction happening next to my house I would have really hard time concentrating on the stuff that I do. For instance there was once a construction just next to my house and they were drilling and doing something and it wasn’t even a big construction but the sound of it made my concentration go haywire and I wasn’t really focused on doing the task I was supposed to do. Also I can feel that it might give some people an headache because of listening to this constant sound. It can make your head pain in several ways. Also it’s very irritating and not a pleasant sound. Also the dust and other the particles that flies around when the urban plannings are taking place is pretty hard to deal with and pretty hard to do.
