Building with Nature: nature-based strategies to benefit people and ecosystems

“Building with Nature” is a concept in sustainable design and engineering. It means working with natural processes rather than against them—for example, by creating future-proof infrastructure, cities, and landscapes. In this way, both people and ecosystems benefit.
