This DLD Nature session takes a close look at innovative approaches to sustainable urban development and integrating nature into city planning and architecture.
Watch the video to get expert insights into:
The EU’s New European Bauhaus initiative, which emphasizes beauty, multilevel thinking in urban development to create nature-positive, harmonious living spaces.
Animal-aided design: This approach integrates animals and plants as stakeholders in city planning, considering their needs and behaviors in designing urban spaces.
Merging buildings with nature: See how digital tools can be used to integrate trees and buildings, creating inhabitable forests that offer ecological benefits.
Green infrastructure and multi-species spaces: The Ecolopes project aims to develop a tool for designing spaces that accommodate multiple species and enhance human-nature interactions.
Utilizing sustainable materials like hop waste to create construction materials such as acoustic panels, following a circular-economy approach.
Adopting systems thinking and an integrated approach to urban planning: This strategy brings together different aspects, like building structures, human needs, nature, resource use, emissions and mobility, in a holistic manner and involves the public in decision-making.
