RECONNECTION TO NATURE
Facing urban centers that are becoming more crowded day by
day, an opposite movement is gaining momentum: the need
for urbanites to get closer to nature, also considered as a way
to live better in the city itself.
Urban gardens and vertical farms, outdoor activities, vegetal
decorations in home interiors, outdoor apparel on fashion
podiums... While tech and scientific progress is flourishing, we
experience a string return to nature, be it inside or outside the
home.
Consumers are also leaving cities and indoor atmospheres to
taste a bit of wildlife. Looking for green spaces and natural
landscapes is a way for people to escape their polluted,
oppressive urban routines and create a new form of
reconnection with their planet as well as a more essential,
simple way of life.

Over 3/4 of US adults rate contact with nature as
“very or extremely important” for their physical health
and emotional outlook.
More than 50% of adults in the USA report spending
five hours or less in nature each week, and most are
satisfied with this minimal amount of time. Many
parents and older adults lament that children today are
growing up with limited opportunities to experience
nature.
