Urban parks and gardens are where people go to reconnect with
nature and destress. But do they all provide the same benefits or
are some better than others? What specific attributes set some
green spaces apart? Can we objectively measure their impact on
mental health and well-being? If so, how do we use this evidence to
guide the design of mentally healthy cities? The Contemplative
Landscape Model unveils the path to answer these questions. Rooted
in landscape architecture and neuroscience, this innovative concept
is described for the first time in an extended format, offering a
deep dive into contemplative design and the science behind it. In
the face of the global mental health crisis, and increasing
disconnection from nature, design strategies for creating healthier
urban environments are what our cities so sorely need. The book
delves into the neuroscience behind contemplative landscapes, their
key spatial characteristics, and practical application of the
Contemplative Landscape Model through case studies from around the
world. Landscape architects, urban planners, students, land
managers, and anyone interested in unlocking the healing power of
landscapes will find inspiration here.
