Abstract

The trend for environmentally friendly design emerged from the clear perception that the biological systems supporting life on Earth are being harmed by traditional human activity. To address climate change at the city scale and its consequences for wider sustainability, this review examines sustainable thinking with biophilia, the importance of nature, and nature-based solutions. The importance of everyday interaction with nature for leading fulfilling lives is becoming increasingly apparent. This power of nature has been recognized by architects and designers recently through biophilic design. As the world becomes more urbanized, it is crucial to focus on planning and implementing biophilic cities. The demand for developing biophilic cities is increasing as global urbanization rises. Urban ecological systems are considered a vital element of a recommended local climate response strategy. Policies and integrated planning initiatives promote low-carbon and low-impact development, leading to urban environments that are more resilient and sustainable. The promotion of green infrastructure is emphasized as a cost-effective method for addressing both mitigation and adaptation needs, while also enhancing human well-being. This study examines the economic effects of ecosystem services, especially cultural services, on individuals and societies to gain insights into how biophilia can be encouraged to support environmental stewardship and climate action.
