    The document outlines an approach called the Bionic City model for designing more resilient cities. It discusses shortcomings of the current anthropocentric city model and compares it to how termite cities are integrated with nature. The Bionic City model aims to design cities like ecological systems using 12 key systems inspired by nature. It also addresses issues like climate change, resource depletion, population growth, and the need for cities to adapt and become more resilient by incorporating green infrastructure and emulating natural water cycles. Case studies are presented showing how the Bionic City approach has been applied to urban design projects in various cities around the world.

    Masterplan

    To tackle these global challenges we established the Biocity


    Studio.

    This research vehicle allows us to partner with universities,


    scientists, industry, NGOs and government to undertake urban
    sustainability research.
    We make the findings of this research open source and use it to
    inform our design work.
