Marujo, Helena ÁguedaNeto, Luís MiguelCasais, Mafalda2023-11-102023-11-102020http://hdl.handle.net/10400.5/29353Informed 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.engFelicitas Publica; Cities; Well-being; Relational Good; Relationships; Eudaimoniajournal article
