ABSTRACT

This chapter explores how the therapeutic landscape (TL) concept can be applied to support people understanding of the health influencing characteristics of urban areas and residential neighbourhoods. It offers a preventive dimension to the concept of TL by applying it within a daily life setting instead of health setting, considers the same characteristics that are deemed 'therapeutic' as having a potential preventive value as well. The chapter attempts to provide empirical data to support the preventive application of the TL concept. The TL concept is partially reminiscent of the environment-behaviour-relationship work initiated in the late 1970s and early 1980s or the research carried out on place and place attachment. The desire to 'put health into place', as brought forward by R. A. Kearns and W. M. Gesler, aimed at identifying or even quantifying place-related impacts on individual health and well-being.
