Exploring the Effects of Biomes on Public Health of Urban Residents

Abstract Details

2019, BA, Kent State University, College of Architecture and Environmental Design.
Biophilia, sustainability, and urban planning have long been aspects of the design industry that have provided much focus and direction. However, they often fail to consider the qualities of the natural setting of a project and the physical and mental health of the end user. As humans have an inherent connection with the natural world, as described and studied through the concept of biophilia, the gap in this idea exists in the consideration and juxtaposition of natural elements by region and human-dominated urban environments. The following thesis will explore this gap and attempt to discover if there is a connection between biomes and the public health of residents in urban environments.
