In this episode of the Nature-Based Therapy Podcast, Johan Östberg speaks with Dr. Kathleen (Kathy) Wolf, a Social Scientist Researcher at the University of Washington. With a background in landscape architecture and environmental planning, Kathy has dedicated her career to studying how urban nature impacts human behavior, health, and well-being.
The discussion explores how our relationship with nature is changing, as more people experience nature in cities rather than in rural areas. Kathy shares insights on whether a city can be nature and how urban environments can be designed to support mental and physical health. She also discusses her work on green infrastructure, water as a restorative element, and how networks and outreach have shaped her research.
Kathy reflects on the evolution of nature-based therapy (NbT) and its growing role in urban planning and healthcare. She highlights barriers to wider adoption and offers practical recommendations for healthcare professionals and individuals looking to incorporate NbTs into daily life.
