Bridging the Boundaries: Human Experience in the Natural and Built Environment and Implications for Research, Policy, and Practice

by Kevin Thwaites (editor), Edward Edgerton (Editor), Ombretta Romice (Editor)

Current interdisciplinary research and practice in human environment interactions
This volume outlines current interdisciplinary research on the reciprocal relations
between humans and the built and natural environments. The expert contributors
investigate topics such as environmental impact on health and well-being,
identity and place attachment, urban sustainability, and challenges linked to
global or national environmental phenomena. Some chapters reflect on theoretical
contributions that offer alternative ways of thinking about human environment
interactions, while others focus on methodological challenges and innovations.
The quality and interdisciplinary diversity of the chapters make the book a unique
contribution to understanding present and future human environment challenges
at all scales and in all global contexts. It will be valuable to researchers, practitioners,
and policy makers across a range of related disciplines, including psychology,
architecture, urban design and planning, education, sociology, human and social
ecology, interior design, and geography.
