URB woman edited_edited.jpg

Nobel Prize-winning research points toward a linkage between building design and a community's ability to create 'good vibes' and attract young profesionals.

Every community needs more high-skill workers. UrbaNatural™ building design and streetscaping are the catalyst for attraction. Throughout the construction cycle, rebrand and begin precision marketing. No more guessing about how to energize your community, retain young talent and foster innovation.

UrbaNatural Thinking and The Genius of Contradiction:
The way you achieve something is through its opposite. 

Marry town and country in your community's built environment to bolster worker population

In 1928, a municipal planner - Ebenezer Howard - said, "Until we can marry town and country, we won't be able to achieve our collective potential." The UrbaNatural movement is based on that high-contrast truism.

Today, when it's particularly difficult to attract young workers to your community, it's important to marry town and country by using building materials that are associated with town and country. Steel, glass and cement are associated with urban life. Wood is associated with rural (or natural) life.

 

The blend of synthetic materials and organic materials on the exterior and interior of any building are particularly attractive to young knowledge workers. They are attracted to environments that are 'eclectic,' - places that blend and meld opposites.

When we look at any contrasting visual image, something happens. The image moves through the retina to the visual cortex, buried deep inside the human brain. When stimulated by neurons, the visual cortex releases dopamine - a natural mood enhancer - into the brain.

Any building that uses contrasting building materials such as steel and wood or acrylic and wood creates the same response in the brain.

 

UrbaNatural buildings create visual contrast. UrbaNatural buildings stimulate dopamine.

UrbaNatural buildings evoke GOOD VIBES.

 

This is a breakthrough that deserves the attention of planners, architects, developers, Chamber officials, Main Street activists and workforce developers. 

UrbaNatural sub-branding creates special appeal
