The cities are increasingly adopting biophilic design as a solution to address the issues of growing health and well-being. The notion that biophilic design induces benefits of wellbeing through its rejuvenating and therapeutic effects, our focus here, is gaining wide interest. We argue that given our long and innate association with nature, biophilic elements and processes, if integrated well into our built environment, have the potential to contribute to health and well-being. 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.
