Coming to a city near you? 🌳🌇 These five start-ups are turning grey to green... 56% of the world live in cities. This will be a whopping 70% by 2050 These innovators are working to make our urban jungles greener, cleaner, and more resilient to climate change. Who did I miss? WATG and Wimberly Interiors (UK) ↳ Created a concept of a modular, maintenance-free building material infused with native wildflower seeds to green cities Zauben (USA) ↳ Combines green roofs with solar panels and hydroponics, absorbing 10 times more water than ordinary green roofs. Urban Machine (USA) ↳ Uses AI-powered robots to recycle waste wood from demolition projects, promoting circular economy in construction. Taro AI (USA) ↳ Leverages AI and citizen contributions to make urban tree monitoring faster and cheaper for city governments. BLUUMBIO (USA) ↳ Rapidly cleans air, soil and water in cities using enzymes from fungi and tropical trees to remove industrial chemicals.
