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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Biophilic City Planning \u0026amp; Design\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eHandbook\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As the most comprehensive reference on the emerging field of biophilic urbanism, the \u003ci\u003eHandbook\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Timothy Beatley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1610916204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781610916202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Island Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/05\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 6.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Timothy Beatley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938774253823,"sku":"9781610916202","price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_27b1a233-0c9b-437d-afa6-e2c88db65aa2.jpg?v=1681437645","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/handbook-of-biophilic-city-planning-timothy-beatley-9781610916202","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
