Nature and the City of the Future

Activity: Presentations, memberships and other activity typesLecture and oral contribution

Description

In an era of an environmental crisis, the design and development of modern cities, and people's lifestyles, are resulting in an increasing disconnection from Nature, both physically and emotionally. This detachment from the natural world deprives communities of the proven social and individual benefits of daily interaction with Nature, and undermines the efforts of ecosystem protection initiatives. In this context, architecture can play a pivotal role in fostering positive interaction between built and natural environments as living ecosystems.

Drawing inspiration from the New European Bauhaus's core values of sustainability, aesthetics and inclusion, presentation will call for a transformational change across multiple sectors and reflect on the following:

How can the city of the future strengthen the bond between citizens and Nature, to sustain cultural and environmental identities, and enhance social and individual health and well-being?
