What will the cities of the future look like?
rewildingCities is a collaborative, equity-driven data science experiment promoting the democratic development of socio-technical systems for climate resilience. Rewilding is the process of embracing biomimicry to reclaim suppressed forms of intelligence—intuitive, relational, and embodied—that are essential for us to build a viable future.
This is not a typical webinar. This is a 90-minute, hands-on collaborative design lab. We will use data as a looking glass, intuition as a valid instrument, and reflective exploration as our primary method for designing a different world.
Our focus will be the city's "hidden fever"—the crisis of urban heat that has real, human costs. We will ground our work in a real-world case study, using it as a portal to understand the deeper systemic forces at play.
This lab is for you if you are a:
- Scientist, researcher, or analyst who believes data can serve a deeper, more soulful purpose.
- Organizer, activist, or community leader who is ready to move from fighting the old to building the new.
- Artist, dreamer, or creative thinker who knows that our biggest challenges require a radical act of collective imagination.
About the Host:
This lab is the first public offering from Rewilding Intelligence, a creative research nonprofit dedicated to facilitating collaborative data science research for socio-technical transformation. rewildingCities is our core project—a collaborative effort to build open-source tools for accessible scientific exploration of speculative futures. We believe in practical magic, data-driven dreaming, and the power of play to change the world.
Please Note:
This is an interactive, hands-on session. To ensure we can dive straight into the creative work together, a brief, mandatory technical pre-check ("Flight Check") is required before the lab. Simple instructions will be sent upon registration.
