How do we take aroma and taste into account in community building and community planning?
Aroma and taste have a great impact on our quality of life. One theory is that aroma and taste will play an increasingly important role for us in the future.
How can this be taken into account to a greater extent in community building and community planning?

This challenge is inspired by the first episode of Openlab's new podcast MATLABORATORY - about food, science and society. The first section of the pod is about fragrance and taste from different perspectives.
# 1 Our most underrated mind | Food lab on acast
When people are confronted with the question of which mind they can most likely lose, many just answer the sense of smell. However, research has shown that people who lost their sense of smell suffer greatly from depression.
Fragrance and taste have a great impact on our quality of life. Among other things, the research shows that fragrance is closely linked to pleasure. First, it is physically linked to the same parts of the brain as pleasure through the other senses. Reduced activity in this part of the brain therefore makes us more easily depressed.
Age and illness can cause us to have a reduced sense of smell and taste. But the loss of sense of smell need not be permanent. We also have the opportunity to train our fragrance and taste senses, and memories and sensations of different scents linked to specific experiences.
Places with a cleaner environment and fewer odor contamination also make smells more prominent - both those we experience as good and as disgusting. As the population gets older and at the same time healthier, our sense of smell is also improved on a collective level.
One theory is that fragrance, our perhaps most underestimated mind, and in the long run taste, will play an increasing role for us in the future.
The importance of fragrance and taste, now and in the future, raises many exciting questions and challenges: How can we to a greater extent take into account fragrance in community building and community planning? How do we create sites, products, solutions that enhance positive impressions through fragrance, or lack of fragrance? How can we make it easier to train a better scent and taste? How can we actively use scent and fragrance research to increase our quality of life?
GE IDER!
What do you think is the solution? Should we mask nasty smells more? Wear a filter that only lets through some scents? Write fragrance diary to remember and recognize fragrances and flavors that make us happy? Or something completely different?
HOW DO I?

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE IDEAS?
The most interesting ideas that come in will be discussed further on a meetup at Openlab in Stockholm together with experts from our podcast MATLABORATORIET.

No smoking, perfume ban, in public places
Food ban in the subway (eg nuts)
However, one can smoke eg electric cigarettes that emit water vapor and are not dangerous.
Weather, potted plants, better ventilation systems! (Eg office & school)
Non-allergenic perfumes, skin care products, etc.
Pay a fine if you smoke on someone else. And more for children.
