Note on Forecast: Wild & Well | the Future of Urban Tech via futureofurbantech.org
The pandemic highlighted our intimate relationship with biology. Urban tech is already charting these new urban landscapes and frontiers. Sampling sewage for COVID-19 virus was a key source of data that helped anticipate outbreaks in many cities, weeks before clinical tests revealed a new spike. And biomedical researchers are sequencing the microbiomes within urban transit systems in dozens of cities to compare notes on local fauna.
The environment built around you - that you operate through - has its own biome that affects you and is affected by you.
