Creating urban health through the promotion of green walls

Meer over het boek

Exploring the detrimental effects of urbanization on health, this study highlights the concept of nature-deficit disorder, exacerbated by industrialization. It examines how vertical garden systems can mitigate issues like air pollution and mental illness in cities, particularly focusing on historic buildings in San Diego's Gaslamp district. By restoring nature in urban environments, the research aims to demonstrate the potential health benefits of integrating green spaces while navigating the challenges posed by existing historic preservation laws.
