Cities no longer grow naturally. They are designed.

SF = capital, NOVA = compute, SG = optimization, Tokyo = regulation, Sapporo = adaptation, Austin = expansion, Dubai = state design.

Constraints don’t disappear.
They move — and converge into design.

Buildings consume 30% of global energy – digital twins could be the key to cutting that waste Data from readily available sensors can be used to digitally trial new systems – all without risking resources.

[1/8] Jose Eduardo Pachano (Universidad de Navarra, Institut BIOMA) analyse le rôle des "jumeaux numériques" pour réduire la consommation énergétique des bâtiments. Les datas deviennent un levier pour repenser les systèmes urbains. #geography #smartcities #energytransition #urbansystems

Urban weedy plantains (Plantago spp.) do not hyperaccumulate heavy metals nor shelter their soil microarthropod communities from these metals Heavy metal hyperaccumulation by plants is a powerful tool in phytoremediation, where plants store heavy metals in large amounts in their aboveground …

My first PhD chapter is OUT (for free for 44 days, Elsevier 😔)! See what's up in urban plant ecological response to metals and their soil critter communities! 🌱🐜🌆
