Internet of Nature is the answer to building healthy urban ecosystems

Many cities are going digital, from self-driving cars to smart grids to intelligent traffic signals. Cities are putting digital technology to work, using data to drive efficiency, and improve the quality of life for citizens.

It's hard to believe that, with all the advancements in ecosystem management, the natural capital in cities is at risk of being left behind. Investing in technology to prevent urban ecology decay finds itself, over and over again, at the bottom of the digitisation agenda of most cities.

An IoN network will support urban ecologists and planners in developing an urban nature intelligence system that will improve the understanding of ecosystem dynamics while promoting self-sufficiency and resilience across the city. An important step to connect both the urban social and ecological systems that will pave the way to smarter, greener, and healthier communities.
