Abstract
Biophilic cities promote environmental sustainability and people’s health and wellbeing, especially where population density is high. The Jane-Finch neighbourhood of Toronto has high population density and low green space coverage, providing an opportunity to apply biophilic city principles to address the public concerns of limited nature contact opportunities. This thesis will explore how biophilic city principles apply to Jane-Finch, \nidentifying opportunities and challenges to application. Design proposals are created for two land use typologies in Jane-Finch neighbourhood by applying biophilic design principles and discussing when they are most opportune or most challenged. The results show the most challenging site typology is the residential street and the most challenging principle is prospect. The research contributes to understanding the biophilic city concept and its application; the findings provide suggestions on how to \ntransform Toronto into a more biophilic city.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
