An exploration of how scientists from around the world are harnessing local ecology and innovative technology to protect the planet's cities from the effects of climate change. As ecological engineer Dr. Nadina Galle argues, nature is our most critical infrastructure for tackling the climate crisis. It just needs a little help. Galle shows how scientists and engineers from around the world are harnessing the power of technology and the natural world prepare urban life for the climate challenges upon us and 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 advances such as: firefighting robots inspired by ancient forest wisdom; sensors that achieve 99% tree survival in increasingly dry, hot summers; innovative smart ponds that collect and manage water surges from extreme weather. Optimistic in spirit yet pragmatic in approach, Galle writesly that the future of urban life depends on balancing the natural world with the technology that can help sustain it.
