Abstract: The rising attention given to mental health and well-being in urban policy, urban regeneration projects and place-making practices has led to an increase in the production of a supporting research evidence base. This paper presents a reflective review of a subset of this research, that which focuses upon urban mental health and well-being as they unfold in the context of relatively disadvantaged urban communities in the UK. Particular attention is given to research which interrogates the role played by the meaningful involvement of communities in decision making in cultivating good mental health. The paper concludes by identifying where evidence gaps still exist and where the evidence base might be improved.
