A Vision of a Mentally Healthy CityReviewsThis fantastic book provides strong evidence of how vital our outdoor spaces are in improving health and well-being, especially post-pandemic. It shows how healthier urban environments can be achieved to mitigate the impacts of climate change, population growth, ageing, and urbanisation. It is a valuable resource for scholars, practitioners and students. Dr Bruno Marques, President of the International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA), Associate Dean, Faculty of Architecture and Design Innovation, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand Creating salubrious landscapes has been a goal of landscape design as old as the landscape architecture profession. This monograph presents a very convincing case of the Contemplative Landscape Model to marry both the goal of aesthetics and health promotion value of landscapes. It will be a very useful reference for researchers, students and practitioners in the field of landscape architecture. Dr Tan Puay Yok, Associate Professor, College of Design and Engineering, National University of Singapore Whilst there is significant evidence showing the beneficial effects of nature to wellbeing, there is still so much we don't know about cause and effect. This book presents some new arguments - including a role for our subconscious - and drawing on Jung's model of the psyche to help account for the profound effect nature has on us, positive and negative.
