Toward the Biophilic Residential Regeneration for the Green New Deal

Int J Environ Res Public Health. 2021 Mar 4;18(5):2523. doi: 10.3390/ijerph18052523.

Abstract

As climate changes and species extinction accelerate, the global community focuses on Green New Deal plans to promote economic development based on environmental sustainability. The Green New Deal should encourage sustainable resilience in the environment and strengthen the community's innate ties with natural resources and biodiversity. This study describes biophilic design for sustainable and resilient residential regeneration from the perspective of the Green New Deal, and suggests potential possibilities for these approaches on a residential regeneration scale. A case study clarifies the applicable features of biophilic design in various fields, such as architectural planning and design, technology, and services, and is subdivided according to the scale of residential regeneration (unit, building, and complex). The results of this study suggest new values for existing Green New Deal policies and contribute to the segmentation of residential regeneration projects and the expansion of related industries.

Keywords: Green New Deal; biophilia; biophilic design; climate change; residential regeneration; sustainable resilience.
