| Abstract |
Bioscape at the macro scale and biophilia at the micro scale are approaches designed to make urban and corporate environments greener and more natural for humans. These approaches are rooted in the idea that people are more effective and successful in environments that resemble their historical natural habitats. Therefore, from both ecological and psychological perspectives, there is a need to integrate more greenery into cities and buildings. This multiple-case study examines smart city (Ülemiste City), university (Tallinn University), and high school (Mustamäe State High School) environments in innovation-oriented Estonia. The study focuses on small- and mid-scale implementations to illustrate the lifecycle from education-to-practice and its various perspectives, presenting best green practices to consider. Not all practices or current situations proved equally valuable, and suggestions are provided for improvement. © 2024 IEEE. |
