This book argues that, paradoxically, at their moment of triumph
and fastest growth, cities need nature more than ever. Only if our
urban world is full of biophilic cities will the coming urban
century truly succeed. Cities are quintessentially human, the
perfect forum for interaction, and we are entering what could
justly be called the urban century, the fastest period of urban
growth in human history. Yet a growing body of scientific
literature shows that the constant interaction, the
hyper-connectedness, of cities leads to an urban psychological
penalty. Nature in cities can be solution to this dilemma, allowing
us to have all the benefits of our urban, connected world yet also
have that urban home be a place where humanity can thrive. This
book presents best practices and case studies from biophilic
design, showing how cities around the world are beginning to
incorporate nature into their urban fabric. It will be a valuable
resource for scholars and professionals working in the area of
sustainable cities.
