Resumo(s)
Informed by positive psychology and the fields of urban studies, design,
economics, political philosophy and sociology, this paper presents an exploration of
different conceptual models of happiness and well-being and considers their potential
to be applied in an urban context. It introduces the ideas of ‘public happiness’ (felicitas
publica), ‘relational goods’ and ‘third places’ and makes a case for their foregrounding in
urban policy and practice. A case study, focusing upon a project implemented in the city
of Lisbon, Portugal is used to demonstrate the ways in which policy makers might actively
intervene to enhance collective happiness in the city.
