The Nature of Our Cities
Ecological engineer Dr. Nadina Galle argues, nature is our most critical infrastructure for tackling the climate crisis. A fellow at MIT’s Senseble City Lab and selected for Forbes’ 30 under 30 list, Galle has been at the forefront of the growing movement to use nature and technology together to prepare urban life for the climate challenges upon us. Now, in this book, she embarks on a journey as fascinating as it is pressing, showing how scientists and engineers from around the world are harnessing the power of technology and the natural world to save their cities, a phenomenon she calls the “Internet of Nature.” Traveling the globe, Galle examines how urban nature, long an afterthought for many, actually points the way toward a livable future for cities. She reveals how technology can help nature navigate this precarious moment with various advances.
