Author and biologist Janine Benyus is co‐founder of Biomimicry 3.8, an innovation consultancy that brings brilliant ideas – informed by millions of years of evolution – to the design table. Here she envisages the urban environment in 2050, as one that is as generous as the natural forest expelling clean air and purified water.
