The aim of this thesis is to investigate the impact of spaces and networks on the cognitive and emotional experience of
individuals within the city. A key parameter of this study is the interaction between the human brain and the surrounding
environment. In this context, the thesis redefine the relationship between humans and the city through an interdisciplinary
perspective that connects neuroscience, architecture, urban design, and digital technologies. It proposes a new model of
urban thinking in which design is not limited to functionality and efficiency, but integrates the cognitive and emotional
dimensions of human experience, contributing to the creation of sustainable, responsive, and resilient cities of the future.
The study draws upon the theoretical foundations of Neuroarchitecture and Cognitive Urbanism, highlighting the role of
sensory parameters in shaping urban experience. At the same time, it examines the transition from the technocratic model
of Smart and Intelligent Cities toward a human-centered design approach [Human-Centered Design], where the city is
understood as a dynamic, perceptual, and interactive system. Within this framework, the concept of the “Internet of
Thoughts” is introduced both as a metaphor and as a technological prospect of the perceptive city. The city is presented as
a space of dialogue between citizens and infrastructures, where data, sensors, and algorithms enable the formation of a
feedback system. This interaction constitutes a new form of urban experience, in which the city responds and adapts to the
needs and emotional states of its inhabitants.
