Answer:
We are living in the urban century. Humanity is in the midst of the greatest migration in our history in absolute terms, the movement of people from rural areas into urban ones. More than 2.4 billion additional residents are expected in the world’s cities and towns by 2050, as migrants join those newly born in cities One study forecasted that a new area of 1.2 million km2 by 2030, the size of the country of South Africa, will be developed for urban use By one estimate, more homes will be built in the next two decades than have been built over several centuries in Europe
This review paper assesses the scientific evidence for the proposition that natural features in cities like parks, remnant natural habitat, and street trees can play a broader role than merely reducing risk and increasing resilience, that they are essential to solving one of the central paradoxes of the urban century: cities are quintessentially human, yet often shockingly inhumane. Our review focuses on three literatures. First, we review the literature on the positive economic and social benefits of cities, focusing on the way cities promote interaction, in multiple senses. Second, we review the literature on urban life and health, focusing especially on the relationship between urban life and mental health. Third, we review research that looks at the effect of interaction with urban nature on mental health. Finally, we end by discussing two examples of how governments are trying to integrate nature into their citizens’ lives, Green Prescription programs and the Biophilic Cities Network.
