If you’ve never heard of a biophilic city before. You probably will soon-there’s a growing movement emerging all over the world.

A biophilic city is a city where the planning and design largely integrate the natural world into the daily lives of residents. It’s based on the idea that humans have a deep love for and the necessity to connect with nature.

“We describe the vision of biophilic cities as immersive nature-nature is not just something to be found in a park here and there that you have to walk to, but rather we need to reimagine the city as a park, or as a forest,” says Tim Bratley, a professor of sustainable communities. “There is a renewed appreciation for how essential nature is in cities and how it can help to make them more beautiful places.” Beatley says. “We know, for instance, that cities face great pressures from climate change-a key response must be nature and nature-based solutions, such as cooling critics with trees and urban forests.”

Beatley’s colleague, Peter Newman, a distinguished professor of sustainability, says he has devoted nearly 50 years to activism, research and teaching how to make cities more sustainable. He made a film with Beatley called “Singapore: Biophilic City”.

Singapore is seen as an exceptional biophilic city. “In our film we show how biophilic values began with the first Prime Minister of Singapore saying that the environment in the city was as important as the economy.” says Newman, who got the idea of making the film after he spent some time in Singapore teaching a course. “Singapore is one of the best examples in showing that you can accommodate city development and population growth and also actually protect nature as well,” says Newman. Greenery is woven throughout the city, not only in many parks, but integrated even into the design of tall buildings.

“Singapore has now officially changed its motto from ‘Singapore, Garden City’ to ‘Singapore, a City in a Garden’,” says Beatley.
