How sponge cities can fix urban flooding (and save millions in costs)

Videos

✅ Making cities resilient to floods

About 44% of all disaster events around the world are flood-related.

In our new explainer episode, we show how ‘sponging’ cities can help them overcome the challenge of flooding while strengthening the local ecology, and boosting the economic and social well-being of residents.

In this episode, you will learn:

🟡 What a sponge city is (and how it works)

🟡 The benefits of ‘sponging’ cities (beyond flood-resilience)

🟡 Projects that demonstrate the principles and benefits of a sponge city at various scales (and what we can learn from them)

🟡 Why developers should be in favour of sponge city initiatives (they can save millions in costs)

And much more!

💚 If you gain value from this conversation, we hope you will subscribe to the channel 💚

Thank you to Holcim Foundation for Sustainable Construction for supporting season 5 of Ecogradia.

Could Elephants be the Next Intelligent Species?

Videos

This is a special video essay on the speculative evolution of sapient elephants and how they might replace us in the future. I switch between the words “intelligent”, “sentient”, and “sapient” a lot because it’s easy to understand what I’m talking about in the context of the video.
