We need that nature daily, if not hourly, and so it must be nearby to where we live and work. This is central to the concept of ‘biophilic cities’ which is emerging as a global movement and guiding framework for city design and planning. \u003ci\u003eBlue Biophilic Cities \u003c\/i\u003eis about the promise of this movement and a kind of biophilic urbanism that is possible for cities perched on the edge of harbours and seas. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eblue \u003c\/i\u003ebiophilic cities\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003emuch of the \u003c\/div\u003enearby nature is to be found in the marine realm.
