ZuWell is a well-being compass for pop-up cities, enhancing environmental factors for better mental and physical health through evaluation checklists, actionable tools, and feedback systems.

ZuWell is an environmental well-being compass for pop-up cities and villages.

It aims to solve the following problems:

  • Negative environmental influence on physical and mental well-being of pop-up city residents
  • Gaps in awareness of pop-up city organizers on how they might improve location/venue curation process and the overall experience of their citizens
  • Inefficient feedback mechanisms that the citizens could use to voice environmental factors that influence their experience

It focuses on various aspects of comfort, indoor and outdoor, including access to facilities, nourishment, natural light, clean air and water, nature, safety, fitness activities, and other factors, to promote a healthier and more supportive environment for the people occupying the space.

ZuWell includes

  • ✅ A Well-Being Checklist to assist pop-up cities and events organizers to evaluate the spaces
  • 🧰 A Comfort Toolbox to give actionable suggestions on how to improve pop-up cities on each of evaluated dimensions
  • 🚦 A Grumpy Meter — simple “traffic light” system used to quickly represent how do environments perform
  • 📸 A Snapshot Challenge, as a fun way for participants to submit memorable sensory experiences in words, photos, or videos
