The NICE project
NICE project (2020-2022)
The NICE project – is short for “A Neuroscientific investigation of the Interaction between Crowdedness and Environment typology” was a 18 month research project funded by Singapore’s National Research Foundation, hosted at the Future Cities Laboratory Global, in Singapore.
The aim was to understand how the typology (green vs built), design, and crowding in urban spaces interact with the people’s affective experience and cognitive performance during active mobility.
