There is a growing need for restoration in the urban surrounding environment. Despite many studies on nature and PR, hardly any research in neuroscience and urban nature, its relationship with Pro- Environment Behaviour (PEB), and PR for urban low-income groups (B40). Therefore, this paper attempts to explore prospects via the literature overviews. From the significant literature, a conceptual Neuro-Landscape Model and methodological research framework have been developed. In conclusion, this model can be verified further to gain significant evidence for addressing concerns in the well-being of B40 in Malaysia.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21834/e-bpj.v5i13.2107 1.0 Introduction As highlighted in the Quito Declaration of the New Urban Agenda, the world’s urban population is expected to nearly double by 20 50, with cities to be home to almost 70 percent of the world’s population by the sunset of the Sustainable Development Goals in 2030 (World Urban Forum, 2018). The New Urban Agenda adopted at the Habitat III cities conference in Quito, in October 2016 has indicated the improvement of human health and well-being as a critical priority to achieve the sustainable development goals (The New Urban Agenda, 2017). To support this agenda, Malaysia has committed to producing healthy and sustainable cities through promoting quality of life by improving well-being for all. This is in line with one of the six strategic trusts which were outlined in the 11th Malaysian Plan. We are aware that urbanization has brought its own set of psychological problems on mental health and well-being. Due to urbanization, there are changes in life events, which have affected the mental health of urbanites, particularly among the low-income group (B40). Mental disorder, a part of mental health, can be overcome through psychological restoration (PR) in urban agglomerations; thus, a growing need for restoration in the urban surrounding. The co-existence between the neuro-science and landscape is known as neuro-landscape (NL). The human brain shows differential activation patterns in response to the landscape and is associated with emotional states based
