    BiodiverCities I

    Preserving wild ecosystems among urban reconstructions and measuring co-design impact in cities.

    Italy , Netherlands
    The first phase of BiodiverCities project converts construction sites into urban wild spots and enables citizens to create sustainable housing structures for pollinator species. The lack of dialogue between citizens and city authorities fuels polarized arguments but does not provide direction for resilient urban ecosystems. We’re building a cultural shift based on artistic and scientific research, rather than opinions, and provide accessible design tools to achieve it locally.
