A person’s stress level can skyrocket because of the hustle and bustle of city living, new research has confirmed.
A study by researchers from Bond University, Australia, has found that concrete jungles make our hearts beat faster, while quiet streets can boost creativity.The study measured people’s physical reactions to urban environments, like enclosed city streets found in big cities, by tracking their heart rate and brain frequency.
Researchers used portable heart monitors and EEGs to track the responses of the same people living in two different places on the Gold Coast, which is famous for its towering skyscrapers.
