高密度的都市也可以緩解壓力、改善精神健康，這兒有些專家建議，有助人們更好地應對大城市生活。
Go to the park
去公園
If you live in an apartment surrounded by busy roads full of traffic, beeping horns, people shouting and litter on the street, this could cause stress and have a negative effect on your mood.
如果你住在公寓里，周圍都是繁忙擁堵的交通，喇叭鳴響不斷、人們叫囂著，還在馬路上亂扔紙屑，這都可能引起壓力，對你的心情造成負面影響。
Know your neighborhood
熟悉你的鄰里
Feeling at ease, or at home, can also improve your mental state.
保持輕松，或者足不出戶也可以改善精神狀況。
Have an escape strategy
逃離計策
If it all gets too much, have an escape route handy. That might be a nearby park or even just your home.
如果情況愈演愈烈，尋求唾手可得的方法逃離。可以是周邊的公園，或者就躲家里也好。
Step away from the car
遠離車輛
Using the car is extremely stressful for people in cities, whereas walking or cycling to work is much better for your mental health.
城市居民用車壓力超大，而步行或是騎車去上班，更有助心智健康。
Underground? Look around
乘地鐵?看看周邊

抗擊環境壓力的關鍵是留意你的周邊。仔細觀察你的周邊環境通常會有益處，因為通常會回饋你一種把控環境的感覺。

何為噪音?
The best thing to do is find out what's making the noise. Even though you may not be able to stop it, knowing the cause can reduce your stress, because it increases your feeling of being in control.
最佳方法是找出噪音源。即便你無法停止噪音，知曉噪音來源有助緩解壓力，因為你會感覺你的掌控力度逐漸增大。
