Wildness and Wellbeing: Nature, Neuroscience, and Urban Design

Autor Zoë Myers
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 noi 2019
Wildness and Wellbeing explores the dynamic relationships between urban nature and mental health, offering practical strategies for urban design. Mental health is a leading global issue and our urban environments can contribute to conditions such as depression and anxiety. Presenting the latest research, this book explores how neuroscience can offer new perspectives on the crucial role everyday multisensory interactions with nature can have on our mental wellbeing. These insights can help us (un)design our streets, neighbourhoods and cities, allowing nature to be integrated back into our cities. Wildness and Wellbeing is for anyone interested in the connections between urban ecology, health, environmental science, planning, and urban design, helping to create biodiverse cities for mental health.

Caracteristici

Provides evidence-backed data on the way nature affects the brain and how this information can be used in urban design Offers a unique interdisciplinary approach bridging neuroscience, psychology, urban design, and nature Fills a gap whereby the emotional effects of cities are considered beyond the built environment and form, to explore temporality and sensory perception Uses an original approach by specifically focusing on the intersection between urban design, nature, and mental well being, making this a timely and important contribution
