  abstract     = {{This study examines how people’s well-being in residential areas is
affected by the outdoor environments and biophilic design. We have
chosen to focus specifically on Holma in Malmö, an area built during the
million homes programme era.
The aim of the study is to analyze how Holma’s residential environment
relates to biophilic design, both in present time and in connection with
renovations and planned future urban transformation. To carry out this
work, we conducted literature studies, site visits and interviews with
representatives from MKB, the municipal housing company in Malmö
which provides rental housing. Based on the results of our study, we can
see that Holma has evolved from a functionalist residential area to one with
more biophilic elements, such as self-management, green corridors and
spaces, and artistic decoration.
The conclusion indicates that self-management contributes to several
biophilic aspects. Particularly significant for Holma are place-based

relationships and developed human-nature connections, as self-
management fosters a sense of protection and pride among residents,

stemming from their participation in decision making and their ability to
influence the residential environment.}},
