There is a growing recognition of the contact we need with nature
to be happy, healthy and to lead meaningful lives. We need that
nature daily, if not hourly, and so it must be nearby to where we
live and work. This is central to the concept of 'biophilic cities'
which is emerging as a global movement and guiding framework for
city design and planning. Blue Biophilic Cities is about the
promise of this movement and a kind of biophilic urbanism that is
possible for cities perched on the edge of harbours and seas. In
blue biophilic cities, much of the nearby nature is to be found in
the marine realm. This book explores the efforts underway in a
number of cities to foster new marine connections through a variety
of innovative programs and initiatives. It also discusses a number
of design ideas, from dynamic shoreline edges and floodable parks
to living breakwaters, in order to emphasise the possibility of
designing for resilience while also supporting marine biodiversity
and strengthening biophilic connections to the marine world.
