Conclusions. 330 $aThis book sets out the discussion on how cities can contribute solutions to some of the challenges the urbanised world is facing, such as the pressure of growing populations, mitigation of effects of, and adaptation to globally changing environmental, climate and public health conditions. Presenting a detailed explanation of the causes behind the current state of modern cities, the book advocates for a paradigm shift to improve the quality of life of ever-increasing urban inhabitants whilst nourishing the natural systems that sustain human and non-human life in the planet. Recognising the precious role that nature plays in the functioning of cities, it delves into the study of biophilic design and regenerative development. The book argues that these social-ecological design approaches can act as catalysts to develop conditions in urban settings that are beneficial for natural and human systems to thrive and flourish, both in ecosystem services and social-cultural systems. This is particularly relevant for the design of new quality precincts or the regeneration of degraded urban spaces to promote health, wellbeing and urban resilience. A framework is proposed to guide the process of thinking about, designing and building healthier, more liveable and resilient urban environments that raise the quality of life in cities. The method can be used by researchers, practitioners -urban designers, urban planners, architects and landscape architects- interested in developing their work within a social-ecological perspective. It can also be used by local governments and agencies to underpin policy making, and by educational institutions to prepare graduates with necessary skills to respond to current and future built environment challenges. 410 0$aCities and Nature,$x2520-8314 606 $aGeography 606 $aSustainable architecture 606 $aUrban ecology (Biology) 606 $aConservation biology 606 $aEcology 606 $aSustainability 606 $aCultural property$xProtection 606 $aHistoric preservation 606 $aRegional Geography 606 $aSustainable Architecture/Green Buildings 606 $aUrban Ecology 606 $aConservation Biology 606 $aSustainability 606 $aConservation and Preservation 615 0$aGeography. 615 0$aSustainable architecture. 615 0$aUrban ecology (Biology). 615 0$aConservation biology. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aSustainability. 615 0$aCultural property$xProtection. 615 0$aHistoric preservation. 615 14$aRegional Geography. 615 24$aSustainable Architecture/Green Buildings. 615 24$aUrban Ecology. 615 24$aConservation Biology. 615 24$aSustainability. 615 24$aConservation and Preservation. 676 $a307.3416 676 $a711.4 700 $aZingoni de Baro$b Maria Elena$01077967 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910522925603321 996 $aRegenerating Cities$92589466 997 $aUNINA
