Creating healthy environments : Using placemaking to inject greenery into our cities

Eden : An Urban Nature Forest Bath
Hagen Hinderdael unveils plans to infuse greenery into historically urban spaces .
Founded by Sofia Hagen and Lisa Hinderdael , the duo specialists in architecture , interior design and urban design have proposed transforming derelict commercial and retail spaces through placemaking , which are rich in biodiversity and encourage greenery to the cities . By doing this Hagen Hinderdael will achieve two goals , reinvigorating the fabric of the city , whilst also raising awareness on the environment and wellbeing .
“ Placemaking needs to be come the anchor that supports cross-sector engagement within our cities .” explains Lisa Hinderdael , continuing :
“ One such narrative that increasingly emerged throughout the past year is that of a healthy natural environment - the greening of spaces . Looking at how design can merge the human made and natural worlds , we believe that the future of our city centres relies on a shift to creating immersive experiences which are ecologically sound , aesthetically satisfying and environmentally responsible .”
