• Urban Acupuncture is an urban environmental methodology, the brainchild of Finnish architect and professor Marco Casagrande who combines the theory of urban design with that of acupuncture.
• In urban acupuncture, an area is regarded as a complex organism of energy in which different energy layers overlap with each other and influence residents behaviour and conduct and how an urban area develops.
