The Biophilic City: Integrating Nature into Urban Design and Planning

The Biophilic City concept emphasizes incorporating natural elements—such as green spaces, trees, water features, and wildlife habitats—into urban environments. This approach aims to enhance residents’ well-being, improve air quality, and promote ecological health within city planning. By seamlessly integrating nature into buildings, streets, and neighborhoods, biophilic cities create more inviting, sustainable, and resilient places to live and work. This strategy recognizes that human health and environmental sustainability are interconnected, making urban areas more vibrant and supportive for both people and nature.
