It is aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding on the current knowledge in the field of mental health problems particularly at the early stages of stress. This study utilises qualitative content analysis method which focuses on reviewing and summarizing literatures such as papers, journals, articles and books related to urbanization and mental health. The further analysis shall then conclude the relationship between urban setting and stress in Malaysia, as well as the stigma that is attached to it which may resulted in mental deterioration where a new design intervention is required. Hence the proposal for a therapeutic environment particularly in relieving early stages of stress is essential.
