    In comparison of the relations between human and natural environments that have been a central focus of environmental psychology for many years, the interactions between psychological processes ... underlying human behaviour and built environment have just recently regained the research interest. In the paper, we first discuss the reasons of slower development of the human - built environment relations. Afterwards, we systematically review the impact that research of environmental stress, namely, poor housing and poor neighbourhood quality had on contemporary understanding of human - built environment relations. It is shown that substandard quality of the house, high noise, lack of natural light in the house, poorer physical quality urban neighbourhoods, living in a low-income neighbourhood etc. are linked to elevated physiological and psychological stress. Despite these evidences, there is still a gap between building designers and building users in modern industrialised societies, which might deepen the tenants' unsatisfaction of specific behavioural needs and consequently lower their psychological well-being and health-risky behaviour. In order to prevent such processes, we suggest the initiation of various design approaches that promote well-being and healthy behaviour in buildings. We focus on social, biophilic as well as evidence-based design. We propose deeper psychological engagement in correlations with human behaviour, psychological well-being and society. We highlight the inclusion of psychologists in interdisciplinary research teams addressing the development of sustainable solutions to the issues of residential environments.
