Biophilic Cities(2nd Edition)
Integrating Nature into Urban Design and Planning
by Timothy Beatley
Paperback, 208 Pages, Published 2010 by Island Press
ISBN-13: 978-1-59726-715-1, ISBN: 1-59726-715-5

"Tim 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, emphasizing such elements as public transit, 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 w ..."

Hardcover, 184 Pages, Published 2009 by Island Press
ISBN-13: 978-1-59726-498-3, ISBN: 1-59726-498-9

"Half of the world’s inhabitants now live in cities. In the next twenty years, the number of urban dwellers will swell to an estimated five billion people. With their inefficient transportation systems and poorly designed buildings, many cities―especially in the United States―consume enormous quantities of fossil fuels and emit high levels of greenhouse gases.

"Work has been done to this end by New Urbanists Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberck, who have produced SmartCode, a program designed to bring “ zoning, subdivision regulations, urban design, and options for architectural standards into one compact document.” This is a definite improvement over most standard subdivision codes, but this approach will not be sufficient until it requires much greater density and mixed use in its c ..."

There is a pressing need to create healthy places and to reduce the health threats inherent in places already built. However, there has been little awareness of the adverse effects of what we have constructed-or the positive benefits of well designed built environments.   This book provides a far-reaching follow-up to the pathbreaking Urban Spraw ..."
