Reviews

“Based upon the intertwined concepts of human recovery and urban resilience, this important and insightful book shows how well-planned and well-designed urban environments can support our health and resilience. I appreciate the broadening of the focus to include not only living environments but also those environments where we work and commute. Nature and biodiversity are key to environments that promote recovery, resilience and wellbeing, as shown by many of the excellent contributions by leading experts. I can highly recommend this book to all of us who are helping to shape better urban environments.” Dr Cecil Konijnendijk, Director, Nature Based Solutions Institute, Sweden
