What does Biophilia mean? | The Biophilic Cities Network
Founder and Executive Director of Biophilic Cities, Timothy Beatley said:
“We are excited to have Verona in the Biophilic Cities Network. This storied city, two-thousand years old, shows how deep commitments to history, art and culture can go hand in hand with restoring our bonds with the natural world. From its gardens, vineyards and piazzas, Verona is a place that celebrates the sensory delights of a walkable city while setting ambitious goals to plant more trees and grow even more nature."
The indicators identified that make Verona a Biophilic City are:
Natural context, characteristics and biophilic infrastructures.
- Human health and well-being through biophilic connections.
