Bibliographic Details
Summary:Can cities truly be reborn through nature? Urban peripheries, often seen as marginal in discussions about quality of life, actually hold the potential for radical transformation. Healthy Corridor Atlas: Roadmap for the Co-creation of Nature-based Cities explores new strategies to regenerate these spaces by weaving together green infrastructure, community participation, and social innovation. Drawing from experiences in cities such as Porto, Nantes, and Brussels, this volume outlines a path for the creation of healthy urban corridors—spaces where nature and people come together to redefine the concept of public space. A book that merges research, practice, and vision, designed for those who see the city not as a boundary, but as a living, evolving organism.
