Imagining Biophilic Cities

Join us for an exclusive annual gathering hosted by the Biophilic Institute and in partnership with Biophilic Cities. Thought leaders, innovators, and advocates come together to envision and advance biophilic cities around the world. This unique event offers a platform to explore the most impactful biophilic projects, principles, and research, inspiring cities to embrace nature-centered design.

Engage in meaningful discussions on scalable projects with measurable outcomes that enhance health, wellness, sustainability, and climate resilience. Connect with city leaders and like-minded innovators to exchange ideas, forge partnerships, shape policies, and influence future biophilic developments.

Together, let’s lead the way toward biophilic innovation and a sustainable future.

About Biophilic Cities

Biophilic Cities partners with a network of cities, scholars, and advocates from across the globe to build an understanding of the value and contribution of nature in cities to the lives of urban residents. As a central element of its work, Biophilic Cities facilitates a global network of partner cities working collectively to pursue the vision of a natureful city within their unique and diverse environments and cultures. Network partners are working in concert to conserve and celebrate nature in all its forms and the many important ways in which cities and their inhabitants benefit from the biodiversity and wild urban spaces present in cities. Biophilic Cities acknowledges the importance of daily contact with nature as an element of a meaningful urban life, as well as the ethical responsibility that cities have to conserve global nature as shared habitat for non-human life and people.
