Abstract

Rapid urbanization in big cities in Indonesia has a complex impact on the psychological well-being of residents. This study is a literature review that analyzes various factors of urbanization such as traffic congestion, environmental noise, limited green open space, and population density that contribute to increased stress, anxiety, and other mental health disorders. In addition to the direct impact on individuals, urbanization also affects the social structure of society which is increasingly individualistic and has reduced social support. The findings show that urbanization not only has physical and economic impacts, but also psychological ones. Therefore, a holistic city policy is needed with a multidimensional approach, including the development of green space, sustainable transportation, noise control, and strengthening community-based mental health services to improve the psychological well-being of urban communities.
