Southwest Florida boasts one of the rare Biophilic cities in America. Babcock Ranch, north of Fort Myers, is the first large-scale, master-planned community in the U.S. to be powered by renewable energy. What’s more, sustainability has been built into just about every aspect of its development. Learn how other cities and communities are also applying the benefits of Biophilic Design.
