topos 128: Biophilic Cities – The cities of the future are nature-based – or at least they should be if we want to live in them tomorrow. While the building of cities was once a symbol of humanity’s victory over wild nature, today more and more metropolises are trying to bring nature back. Greater resilience, sustainability, quality of life and biodiversity are just a few of the many good arguments for doing so. In issue 128 of topos magazine, we take a look at the concept of the biophilic city, its pros and cons, and we discuss hand-picked examples of cities (including San Francisco (USA), Edmonton (CA) and Wellington (NZ)), that have successfully integrated fauna and flora into their urban structures.
