Review and design the biophilic city inspired by the urban river ‎ (Case study of the city of Dezful)‎

Biophilic refers to the idea that humans are inseparably limited and drawn to nature. In order to ‎function properly, we need to connect with other living things. A biophilic city is a city that integrates ‎natural features into its designs. Such places provide citizens with a variety of opportunities to interact ‎and experience nature in their daily lives, whether it is a conscious choice to go to a greenhouse or a ‎park, or just passing by a building with ivy in the center. And they experience it literally. In ‎the present study, analytical-descriptive method has been used to achieve the goals and answer the ‎research questions. In order to conduct this research, in two documentary and field methods, ‎information has been prepared, analyzed and combined. In that city, the biophilic is examined at three ‎levels of building, neighborhood and city. The components of green space, urban farms and water-‎sensitive features are examined. And based on two biophilic approaches (direct and indirect use of ‎nature) and according to the research findings, we come to the important dimensions of the city and ‎the design elements of the biophilic city. The river and water resources have been reached and based ‎on them, a proposal has been proposed for the revitalization and development of the biophilic city of ‎Dezful.‎
