The book will have three themes of 1) Understanding the adverse environmental impact on human health and wellbeing; 2) analysis of adaptation and mitigation measures through modeling technologies; 3) providing best practice examples of the implementation of the proposed measures. The book will present the liveable cities including factors affecting liveability; ecological and biophilic city; economic values; health and well-being and opportunities for people. Physical and social health will be an important issue in the context of resilient cities. The widespread concerns will be addressed including physical and mental health; wellbeing in terms of building use; building surroundings and Biophilia; location in the context of sustainability and work-life balance; and spatial scale and community. 0aSustainable architecture. 0aUrban ecology (Biology). 0aEnvironmental health. 0aSustainability.14aSustainable Architecture/Green Buildings.24aUrban Ecology.24aEnvironmental Health.24aSustainability.1 aYao, Runming.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303155481008iPrinted edition:z978303155483408iPrinted edition:z9783031554841 0aCities and Nature,x2520-831440uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-55482-7
