Listen "Ep 6. Urban Forestry, Nature-Based Therapy & the 3-30-300 Principle with Cecil Konijnendijk"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Nature-Based Therapy Podcast, Johan Östberg sits down with Professor Cecil Konijnendijk, a leading expert in urban forestry, green spaces, and nature-based solutions. With decades of experience, Cecil has played a key role in shaping urban forestry policies and strategies worldwide.
They discuss his journey into urban forestry, his contributions to major EU projects, and the development of the 3-30-300 rule - a widely adopted framework for greener, healthier cities. Cecil shares insights on how this rule relates to nature-based therapy (NbT) and how cities can integrate more trees and green spaces to enhance mental and physical well-being.
The conversation also covers the evolution of NbT, its future potential, and practical recommendations for healthcare professionals, urban planners, and individuals looking to incorporate nature into daily life.
