More Than Just Green Space: Urban Parks and Holistic Well-being for Reconnecting People to Nature

More Than Just Green Space: Urban Parks and Holistic Well-being for Reconnecting People to Nature

Kyree Chen, MLWS 2022

With the significant increase in population, the urban sector occupies more and more natural areas for human land use. As the boundary between urban and nature becomes distinct and further away from the city`s center, urban residents tend to be disconnected from nature. By looking through this anthropocentric lens, it can be seen how important the preservation of urban green spaces is to the residents. The Urban Park, one of the most common blue-green facilities, plays a vital role in the urban ecosystem. However, its functions and services are not fully appreciated by the public that is disconnected from nature. This project provided an integrated view of an urban park on its benefits from different perspectives, to inspire people to reconnect with nature by ‘forest bathing’ in urban parks and acknowledge the indispensable role of urban parks.
