  text: 'hapter 6 explores the multifaceted relationship between NBS and human health
    in urban environments. It begins by discussing the interconnectedness of nature
    and human well-being, highlighting the potential of NBS in reducing environmental
    stressors, restoring capacities and inviting for a more (inter-)active lifestyle.
    The chapter then delves into specific aspects of health addressed by NBS, such
    as the mitigation of air pollution and the enhancement of thermal comfort. Additionally,
    it examines the role of allotment gardens in promoting well-being and social cohesion
    within urban communities. Furthermore, the chapter explores how NBS can encourage
    healthy behaviour among urban residents, offering insights into understanding
    behavioural patterns. Concluding with recommendations for practitioners, the chapter
    underscores the importance of effectively implementing NBS to improve health and
    well-being in urban settings. '

  text: 'Current societal challenges like climate change led to a general agreement
    that our cities need to become greener and our lifestyles more sustainable. This
    transformation of our daily living environments can also impact the prevalence
    of non-communicable diseases as a global disease burden of our time. These positive
    impacts of horizontal green spaces on human health are widely recognized. However,
    it is still unclear whether the same is true for green walls, as a promising nature-based
    solution for dense urban spaces which is increasingly applied. To date, the available
    research on green walls has not been systematically synthesized along the potential
    impact pathways of reducing environmental stressors (Mitigation), restoring capacities
    (Restoration), and promoting healthier behavior (Instoration). We conducted a
    systematic review of 30 reviews to synthesize available evidence on all three
    pathways and direct health outcomes, following the established strategies of PICOS
    and PRISMA. We assessed the review quality through AMSTAR. We found strong consistent
    evidence that green walls can mitigate urban heat island effects (daylight surface
    temperature: -0.3 °C to -31.9°, daylight air temperature: -0 °C to -8.7 °C), air
    pollution (PM2.5: -25% to -99%, PM10: -23% to -60%), and noise pollution (sound
    pressure level: -1dBA to -5dBA). We found some evidence for disaster risk reduction
    and restoration effects. There were no reviews on the instoration pathway or direct
    health outcomes. The underlying reviews rated low according to the AMSTAR checklist,
    which might limit our findings. We recognize a generally young research field
    and conclude that more in-field studies are needed in all pathways to better understand
    the relationship between green walls and health.'

  text: "Ein Blick auf Deutschland von oben und in unsere Planungswerkzeuge wie die
    BauNVO zeigt, auch Jahrzehnte nach dem Leitbild der Stadt der kurzen Wege abseits
    von Innenstädten und so mancher Großstadt, noch das Bild einer sortierten Stadt.
    Die Gegenbewegung zur autogerechten Stadt setzte in den 1980er Jahren ein und
    verfolgt im Kern ein diametral entgegengesetztes Ziel – die fußläufige Stadt.
    Doch auch über 30 Jahre später zeigt sich abseits der Innenstädte in den umliegenden
    Stadtteilen und Dörfern noch ein ernüchterndes monofunktionales Bild. Dabei sind
    es genau diese räumlichen Einheiten, die in etwa dem fußläufigen Bewegungsradius
    seiner Bewohner entsprechen. Hier - von der eigenen Wohnung aus erreichbar - braucht
    es Angebote für die Ziele des Alltags. Inzwischen belegen zahlreiche Studien die
    Möglichkeiten und Vorteile kompakter nutzungsgemischter Quartiere in ökologischer,
    sozialer und ökonomischer Hinsicht. Diese Größeneinheit hat ein prominentes Vorbild:
    Die mittelalterliche europäische Stadt. Mit diesem Perspektivwechsel wird die
    Stadt von vorgestern zur Vorlage für das Quartier von übermorgen.\r\n\r\nZweitveröffentlichung
