biophilic cities pattern Library

The Global Biophilic Patterns Library

Each city is different; the result of a unique history and distinctive setting. The opportunities for conserving, celebrating and growing new nature will vary as well depending on local climate, topography, hydrology, and ecology. The shape and feel of a city are the culmination of a creative intermingling of these unique natural and human forces. Within the cities of the Biophilic Cities Network there are a variety of experiences and innovative approaches to celebrating and protecting nature, and to creatively integrating new forms of nature into the buildings, and the spaces between and beyond. The pattern library launched here begins to display the remarkable array of impressive, natureful work underway in cities around the world.
