Environmental Psychology

This book explores the relationship between our environment and our psychology. It considers the natural environment, built environment and social environment and considers both the human state of mind and the behavioural relationships with our environment. It has relevance to how we plan and manage the world around us: from planning development to resource management, landscaping and climate change mitigation.

This is a book that has a relevance to climate activists through to developers and politicians. Understanding how people think about their environment is the first step toward improving the environment.
