The cities are increasingly adopting biophilic design as a solution to address the issues of growing health and well-being. Given our innate association with nature for a long time, biophilic elements and processes, if integrated well into our built environment, have the potential to contribute to health and well-being. We argue that biophilic design induces benefits of wellbeing through its rejuvenating and therapeutic effects. We also argue that ecological services of natural infrastructures are crucial for creating a sustainable and healthier habitat. We conclude that integrated and accessible biophilic elements on diverse scales in the built environment are beneficial for human health and well-being.
