dc.description.abstract | The stresses and strains of the urban environment are widely acknowledged. The means for recovery, for recuperation, are perhaps less evident. In particular, the role of environmental configurations in this process is often neglected in the measurement of quality of life.The urban natural environment can provide the setting for such restorative experiences, both physically and conceptually. A theoretical analysis is presented that focuses on the importance of fascination and coherence as essential processes in the powerful effects of the nature context. When these are both afforded by the setting, many of the benefits available in more remote natural settings may be available in the nearby urban context as well. The bits and pieces of urban nature are significant not only in terms of active recreational encounters. The view of trees and birds, the thought of spring to come, and the plans for summer's window box can all help in the restorative experience. | en_US |
