In the wake of a rapid urbanisation at a global scale, the question we need to ask ourselves is what we can do to deal with issues and problems resulting from this global trend. It is estimated that by 2050 more than 75% of the world’s global population will reside in cities. There are many problems arising from this trend of urbanisation, but for the purposes of the narrative of this book, there are two issues to be dealt with: the decline of human health and wellbeing, and the decline of planetary wellbeing. A Biophilic Pattern Language for Cities provides guidance for the design and planning of sustainable cities by using a pattern language method embedded in the principles of biophilia. This introductory chapter charters how to use the meta biophilic patterns in relation to other principles in creating healthy urban environments.
