Territorio: designing Landscapes for Well-being

Territorio gathers over a decade of Fundación Cosmos’s work in Chile: wetlands turned from dumps into sanctuaries, healing gardens in public hospitals, and parks co-designed with communities. The book argues that nature-based planning and landscape architecture can build Territorial Well-being, a healthy relationship between people and the places they inhabit.
