This book explores how biotechnology can lead to the reimagination of
cities. In a time where the increasing adoption of technology by
cities is leading to unsustainable environmental and economic
concerns, biotechnology has enabled new ways of envisioning data and
energy storage. Zaheer Allam thus revisits the popular concept of
Smart Cities -and its associated Internet of Things (IoT) to explore
how the biological sciences, coupled with technology, can be applied
to cities; and in doing so, create living urban organisms on an
unprecedented scale. This new concept will open up exciting avenues
to providing novel solutions for climate change mitigation. The book
goes on to address various potential concerns and discusses what
regulatory frameworks would be needed to safely implement such a
concept. It will be a useful tool for planners, policy makers and
engineers as well as for researchers with in interest in the future of
our cities.
