Despite the perception of cities as having positive aspects, city living also has negative aspects for individuals and communities. The challenge is to increase the advantages and decrease the disadvantages associated with urban life. Thus, to address this challenge, the article presents the concept of a stressless city. To fill the research gap, the urban stress concept regarding resilience was analysed based on existing literature and a pilot study. The research area is typically concentrated on countries or metropolitan cities, leading to a lack of publicly available data at the local level and an incomplete overview of the situation. Moreover, a complementary, systematic approach to evaluating resilience is necessary. To present a complete overview of the situation, an interdisciplinary approach is required, considering the links between psychology, health, and urban sciences. In this case, such studies on stress contribute to the assessment of urban living conditions by identifying factors that pose the greatest challenge to building urban resilience and highlighting the need for greater attention to residents’ perspectives.
