Description: Biophilic Cities by Timothy Beatley Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Outlines the essential elements of a biophilic city, and provides examples and stories about cities that have successfully integrated biophilic elements - from the building to the regional level - around the world. Publisher Description Timothy Beatley has long been a leader in advocating for the greening of cities. But too often, he notes, urban greening efforts focus on everything except nature, emphasising such elements as public transport, renewable energy production and energy efficient building systems. While these are important aspects of reimagining urban living, they are not enough, says Beatley. We must remember that human beings have an innate need to connect with the natural world (the biophilia hypothesis). And any vision of a sustainable urban future must place its focus squarely on nature, on the presence, conservation and celebration of the actual green features and natural life forms.A biophilic city is more than simply a biodiverse city, says Beatley. It is a place that learns from nature and emulates natural systems, incorporates natural forms and images into its buildings and cityscapes, and designs and plans in conjunction with nature. A biophilic city cherishes the natural features that already exist but also works to restore and repair what has been lost or degraded. Author Biography Timothy Beatley is Teresa Heinz Professor of Sustainable Communities in the Department of Urban and Environmental Planning, in the School of Architecture at the University of Virginia, where he has taught for more than twenty years.
