Biophilic Design Networking - Cities, Health and Wealth - how biophilic design improves all three.

Biophilic design connects urban environments with nature, improving mental health, reducing stress, and enhancing well-being. It boosts air quality, supports biodiversity, and mitigates urban heat. By integrating natural elements into cities—like green roofs, parks, and water features—we create healthier, more sustainable spaces that foster community, creativity, and resilience in the face of climate challenges. 

Biophilic design ALSO boosts property values, attracts tourism, and supports local businesses by creating appealing, healthy environments. It reduces healthcare costs and increases productivity, drawing investment and talent. Green, vibrant cities become economic hubs, driving long-term financial growth and resilience.

In the third in our series of online networking events, we look at how the challenges and also the amazing opportunities we have to bring Biophilic Design into our built environment. 

We will also have two guest speakers with us, Philippa Hoy of BioRegional who will be explaining the rationale behind their "One Planet Framework" and we will have the opportunity to discuss how biophilic design is woven into this.

Plus Steve Hart will be joining us all the way from NZ and presenting on ecology architecture and city planning.The fusion of Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Urban Design, Hydrology and Biophillia through Systems Ecology overlaid with Permaculture.

You will have the chance to ask questions, share examples you know of, discuss challenges, network and maybe also kickstart some business within the Biophilic Design Network.
