This weeks guest is Nath Baumann, urban ecologist with the Swiss Green Infrastructure Consultancy & 

Lecturer at the Zurich School of Applied Science (ZHAW).


Nath joined me to talk about her more than ten years work in the regreening of Paris and in particular the initiatives under Mayor Anne Hidalgo to widen access to the benefits of nature as part of increasingly urgent efforts to transform the city into a beacon of circular and ecological design. The conversation was framed around La Recyclerie, an urban farm, repair cafe, sharing hub and restaurant but we covered a lot of the great initiatives and developments around Paris - and even touched on the way systems thinking is shaping its relationship with the agricultural areas beyond its periphery.

In an episode recorded in early February 2021, I talked with Henri about kelp as a climax habitat and the new bylaw (just) passed which will restrict trawling off the Sussex coast in the Channel to 4km offshore. 


We talked about how the bylaw will help restore the 200km2 forest lost to human activity

- why kelp is such a big deal for not just inshore waters but the local culture and economy and the livelihoods of the fishing fleet

- How the English channel formed and how its shallowness has influenced its biodiversity - including the mammoth tusks dredged by the trawlers which have done so much damage 

- offshore wind and how to do marine actively sensitively


We also talked about how to value nature, and why marine environments have been slower to be included in investable models of habitat restoration like peat, mangrove and trees.

Her work explores the evolving relationship between people and nature in Indian cities, with publications including Nature in the City, Bengalaru in the Past, Present and Future (2016) and Cities and Canopies: Trees in Indian Cities(2019). We explored the way that ancient and more recent human activity helped shape the region's ecology and in particular the way that Bangalore's development has been informed by the need to manage scarce water resources - but also how the particularities of indigenous culture have lent a deeper everyday connection with and understanding of nature - and what (and how) we can learn from the way these challenges are being met.


Talking points

- the role nature in rapidly urbanising countries/densifying cities

- animism and the spiritual connection with nature

- how to engage with indigenous approaches to ecology, and how they improve upon colonial attitudes 

- ecological memory and forgetting in indian cities

- how resource (water) scarcity and human activity to compensate for it has shaped Karnataka’s ecology and the regions’ priorities for modern GI interventions

- medicine, food and scent as drivers of our experience of nature in the city

- why citizen restoration movements rather than municipalities are the key drivers of ecological enhancement 

- how the pandemic story is unfolding in India, and the implications for social urban development

Araceli joined me to talk about the emerging role of neuroscience in explaining how built environments can create pathologies in the people that live in them and what that means for the people affected. We talked about how every planner, architect, consultant and developer working in ways that shape the built environment are also - whether they know it or not - healthcare practitioners, and how this can and will increasingly shape the way we design and build the places that we live. 


Talking points:


  • What exactly is neuroscience, and how does it help us understand how people experience their (built) environment


  • What is biological inequality, how has it arisen and what are strategies for tackling it?


  • Why health isnt only (or even mainly) the absence of illness


  • Why construction phase is as critical as post-occupancy


  • Blame and self-esteem: what the pandemic has revealed about the role of authority and infrastructure in health outcomes, and what that suggests about personal responsibility for health outcomes

We discussed what green infrastructure comprises and why it should be seen as comparable in importance to transport, energy and sewage networks, as well its history in the parks movement and more recently nature conservation (particularly rare species of birds who's adopted habitats in brownfield sites around the city were endangered by urban regneration)


We also unpacked how its funded and regulated in London and the way that national frameworks might interact (and sometimes conflict) with local initiatives. And of course we spent some time thinking through how what we know about the pandemic so far might indicate some of the opportunities and obstacles we’ll see being thrown up green infrastructure.

Tony joined me to talk about rewilding - what wild means in a modern 21st country, and how it relates to other kinds of nature conservation that continue and which have gone before. We explored the various scales at which we can think about rewilding, the difference between applying in urban and non-urban areas, the obstacles we’ll face in linking up the core areas of wild space and bringing them into our cities - and how we can overcome them, both practically and in terms of how to communicate the benefits with the wider population.


Talking points include:


-Rethinking value

-What ragwort can tell us about how to communicate rewilding 

-How far does a policy like biodiversity net gain get us without enforcement?

-Nature recovery networks as a framework for thinking about outcomes

-Regenerative economics as a guide to post-CV recovery

-What George Monbiot gets wrong about rewilding

We talked about his work with stakeholders in Caracas, and how it was informed by his wider approach to design - challenging ideas about what counts as good public space; how to make design meaningful; and the ways that rethinking temporary interventions can both enhance the experience of place for members of the public and the economics of large scale developments. And some characteristically thought-provoking ways of thinking about the benefits that designing with nature brings for the people who use the space.

We talked about his work with stakeholders in Caracas, and how it was informed by his wider approach to design - challenging ideas about what counts as good public space; how to make design meaningful; and the ways that rethinking temporary interventions can both enhance the experience of place for members of the public and the economics of large scale developments. And some characteristically thought-provoking ways of thinking about the benefits that designing with nature brings for the people who use the space.

We talked about what its like being a pioneer of vertical forestry and how the commercial and professional landscape in which the Studio operate has changed with the success of the first tower.


We also looked at some of the implications for material palettes of buildings with extensive vegetated surfaces; the upfront and operating budgets such buildings require; how the parameters of cost/benefit evaluation of ecocentric design needs to evolve to better reflect the contribution to public health and wellbeing buildings and city-scale urban units replete with vegetated surfaces will provide; and discussed the forthcoming projects that the Studio has in the pipeline and what they open up in terms of possibilities to scale positive change.


We began by talking abvout the studio’s pioneering and ambitious mission statement - hugely groundbreaking and inspiring, and which has resonated with me for the year since i first heard it: reversing climate change.

I was joined by Nadina Galle, PhD candidate in Ecological Engineering and CEO & Co-Founder of Green City Watch, a geospatial AI firm and Sophie Nitoslawski PhD student at UBC and Research Director at the Internet of Nature.


Nadina & Sophie's Internet of Nature startup seeks to overcome the urban fragmentation of mycorrhizal networks which have kept trees healthy and connected for millions of years. Their Internet of Nature start-up is a multi-city venture which incubates and deploys a network of sensors, algorithms and other tech tools to bridge the gap between increasing smart infrastructure and the need for increasingly robust green infrastructure. Extending and deepening the conversation I had with Cecil Konijnendijk, Nadina & Sophie covered:


  • Why cities are so stressful for trees
  • The role of emerging technology in improving tree health, and the aims of The Internet of Nature
  • Why the value of trees goes UP over time
  • Why experts should be leading on tree planting drives, and what can go wrong when they aren't
  • Improving data sets: the pressing need for tree inventories
  • Why mid-size cities are often better innovators
  • How climate change is impacting city tree strategies


Their diverse work is housed at the new website - www.theinternetofnature.com

Nadina's TedTalk can be seen here

Nadina and Sophie will be presenting a keynote presentation at the 4th Trees, People & The Built Environment conference (Birmingham, UK) - tickets available here

What makes it even more important is its triple bottom line approach to business and the potential it offer to link the rail network to community energy providers along the routes. I spoke with Ollie about his pioneering efforts in the early days of community energy before we moved on to his latest initiative for a deep dive into the process of powering trains with solar power. Its hard to know where to begin getting excited about this initiative which as you’ll hear is already in trial phase - reducing the reliance of rail travel on diesel, replacing the feed-in tariff for the countless communities adjacent to rail lines, and the potential spillover into other territories (India for example) and other travel and industry sectors. 


Ollie also talked to me about his work at the vanguard of efforts to improve energy security, end energy poverty and decarbonise electricity especially in rural areas, as well as the evolving outlook for regional organisation of energy investment. 


Talking points include


- The early days of UK community energy & the transition town movement


- Post-crash economic conditions and the financial rationale for private investment in public energy infrastructure 


- City-regions and the regionalisation of green investment


- Rethinking nudges for adopting lower impact private journeys


- How the train network is powered, its environmental impact and the engineering challenge of solar


- How decarbonising policies at national level are driving grassroots initiatives


- Wider applications - powering the water industry, Environment Agency’s multi-million pound water pumping annual outlay, luxury air travel

We spoke about the difference between urban and non-urban drivers for tree planting, unpacked their relevance to the climate change and air quality agendas and explored the way that sensitive design of planted areas can amplify the health and wellbeing effects of urban nature, especially around schools.


We also talked about how China is leading on urban forest policy, the huge potential for (and slow pace of) urban greening in India, and heard about the need for an explicit focus on social justice in the large scale deployment of trees in carbon offsetting schemes.

In this weeks episode I spoke with Dr Tom Young, an academic and practitioner of blue and green roofs, with a Phd in substrate design. Tom has been centrally involved in the design and implementation of the new British Standard in substrate design, which was launched this summer 


We discussed how the Standard came about, who the stakeholders are and explored some of the basic questions involved - for instance the difference between good and bad green roof substrate, and why it matters; why its important to embrace variation in green roof design, and why we should be designing for outcomes. 


We began with a simplified overview, looking at the benefits of green roofs for urban environments and building occupants, some of the different ways of achieving vegetation at roof level and how green roof design can affect the way these benefits can be achieved in practice.
