FEATURE STORY
Building forests and wetlands as urban infrastructure
Constructing ecosystems as part of large-scale urban landscaping is an emerging segment of the bioeconomy. Unlike gardens, parks, living walls, or nature reserves, the objective here is an engineered habitat that serves similar functions to built infrastructure.
Today, we bring you the second video from our friends at Leaf, in which Marcelo Amaral shares his views on developing solutions for a more sustainable future, helping partners succeed, and leveraging science to tackle today’s challenges.
Enjoy this one and stay posted for more videos coming your way shortly!
