Biophilic Public Health
Biophilic design helps make happy and productive workplaces; creates healing and comforting environments in hospitals; shapes schools where children thrive physically, emotionally and academically; and, supports well-being and community in homes and neighbourhoods. Biophilic buildings go well beyond ‘eco-building’ concepts of sustainable materials and energy efficiency, to design that nurtures and cares for people, community and nature, and in doing so expresses the values of love, care and respect for nature as well as, reciprocally, allowing nature to nurture our own health and well-being. The resource can be useful for public health professionals, policy makers, urban planners, academics and interested citizens.
