Abstract This issue of CITYGREEN presents research articles on Singapore’s park connectors, swamps, and Pulau Ubin. International reports include the microbial input from nature being a key component of the beneficial effect of green space, and specific design characteristics of urban parks that can induce in visitors the pattern of brain activity that is associated with contemplative or meditative states. |
