While parks, street trees, and green roofs are increasingly appreciated for their technical services like stormwater reduction, from a biophilic viewpoint, they also facilitate experiences that contribute to better physical and mental health: natural elements in play areas can lessen children's symptoms of ADHD, and adults who exercise in natural spaces can experience greater reductions in anxiety and blood pressure. The Handbook of Biophilic City Planning & Design offers practical advice and inspiration for ensuring that nature in the city is more than infrastructure?that it also promotes well-being and creates an emotional connection to the earth among urban residents. Divided into six parts, the Handbook begins by introducing key ideas, literature, and theory about biophilic urbanism. Chapters highlight urban biophilic innovations in more than a dozen global cities. The final part concludes with lessons on how to advance an agenda for urban biophilia and an extensive list of resources. As the most comprehensive reference on the emerging field of biophilic urbanism, the Handbook is essential reading for students and practitioners looking to place nature at the core of their planning and design ideas and encourage what preeminent biologist E.O. Wilson described as "the innate emotional connection of humans to all living things.". 606 $aEcology 606 $aLandscape architecture 606 $aSustainable architecture 606 $aEnvironmental Sciences 606 $aLandscape Architecture 606 $aSustainable Architecture/Green Buildings 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aLandscape architecture. 615 0$aSustainable architecture. 615 14$aEnvironmental Sciences. 615 24$aLandscape Architecture. 615 24$aSustainable Architecture/Green Buildings. 676 $a333.7 700 $aBeatley$b Timothy$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$034822 801 0$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254109003321 996 $aHandbook of Biophilic City Planning and Design$92517151 997 $aUNINA
