LACK OF NATURE
There are concerns that as more of the population move into urban areas, we are becoming disconnected with nature and this could be affecting our well-being (Keniger, L E, 2013). Urban planner and sustainability professional Jonce Walker explains how people are going out less to experience nature in places such as national parks. He believes nature can help relieve stress in the city due to humans ‘innate biological connection with nature’ which is usually referred to as biophilia (Terrapin Bright Green, 2015).
Stress of City Life
Studies show city residents have a substantially increased risk of anxiety (by 21%) and mood disorders (by 39%) (Peen, J, 2010). This could be down to many factors such as job intensity, pollution, toxins, crowding and noise (Lederbogen, F. et al., 2011).
