Neuroscience for Designing Green Spaces
Landscape architect and neuroscience researcher Agnieszka Olszewska-Guizzo agreed talks about her book ‘Neuroscience for Designing Green Spaces, Contemplative Landscapes’ for this Urban Design Group event.
Landscape architects, urban planners, students, land managers and anyone interested in unlocking the healing power of landscapes will find inspiration here.
Design strategies for creating healthier urban environments are what our cities so sorely need. Urban parks and gardens are where people go to reconnect with nature and destress.

If so, how do we use this evidence to guide the design of mentally healthy cities?
The Contemplative Landscape Model unveils the path to answer these questions.
