The article discusses how modern cities have lost important elements in their design, leading to negative impacts on human health and social interactions. Biourbanism proposes to reintroduce these lost values and balance in urban design to improve the well-being of city residents. The Lancet Commission of Healthy Cities emphasizes the role of urban planning in promoting health improvements through reshaping city environments. Applying Biourbanism principles can enhance the quality of urban spaces and positively impact the physical and psychological well-being of city dwellers, ultimately supporting urban sustainability.
