Living Infrastructure Article published in Landscape Institute Journal

‘Living Infrastructure: A Digital Approach to Urban Ecosystems,’ an article co-authored by McGregor Coxall UK Founding Director, Michael Cowdy, and UK Biourbanism Lab Lead, Jorge Sainz de Aja Curbelo, has featured in the latest issue of the Landscape Institute Journal. The ‘Digital’ edition of the journal investigates how technologies can be harnessed to progress the landscape profession, aid better collaboration and improve outcomes for people, place and nature.

Michael and Jorge explore how digital tools and data-driven strategies can transcend interdisciplinary silos in the built environment to shape resilient and human-centred urban ecosystems. Building on their recent Living Infrastructure presentation to the Landscape Institute Digital Conference, the piece is a testament to McGregor Coxall’s commitment to advancing innovative, sustainable solutions for the future of our cities.
