摘要

Cities are transforming, driven by our inherent love for nature (biophilia). This design movement goes beyond aesthetics, strategically weaving greenery, natural light, and other natural elements into the urban landscape. Studies confirm that these elements enhance well-being, reconnect us with the environment, and strengthen a city's identity. The key lies in incorporating local and culturally significant natural features. This fosters a deeper sense of belonging and community pride, leading to a more invested citizenry. These residents become champions of sustainable practices, contributing to the city's long-term health and creating vibrant, livable spaces. We cultivate a sense of belonging, well-being, and shared identity by embracing nature. This translates into sustainable practices and a harmonious relationship with the environment, ultimately creating cities that resonate with their residents. This understanding opens the door for a social investigation: analyzing biophilic elements in public spaces and their environmental impact. This study aims to investigate the impact of biophilic design elements in public spaces, analyze the presence and types of biophilic elements (greenery, natural light, natural materials, etc.) in public spaces, and assess the environmental impact of these elements, including their contribution to air quality. Biodiversity can offer valuable insights into how nature shapes the very soul of a city. Understand the relationship between biophilic design and sustainability; develop recommendations for incorporating biophilic design into urban planning and development.
