Biophilic Cities and Urban Resilience
Abstract Cities in the United States and around the world face many challenges. Some are relatively new, such as climate change and food and water scarcity. Other challenges are cyclical but common—poverty, adequate and affordable housing, provision of jobs, and economic activity, including adapting and responding to economic downturns. Investing in nature, it turns out, helps in addressing almost all of these challenges and contributes to more resilient cities and urban citizens in several ways.
