Problem
Growing awareness of green spaces' importance underscores urban nature deprivation. Research shows nature exposure benefits mental health, highlighting the need for solutions to promote a healthier
urban lifestyle.
Opportunity
Amidst rapid urbanization, there's a critical need to address dwindling access to nature and rising air pollution in cities, impacting mental and physical well-being. This presents an opportunity to develop solutions that reintegrate nature into urban environments, improving air quality and enhancing the quality of life for residents.
Objective
To conceptualize and develop an innovative urban intervention leveraging emerging technologies to reintegrate nature into urban environments, mitigate air pollution, and enhance the well-being of
city residents.
Inspiration
Growing up in rural Philippines, I noticed how urban America lacks a connection to nature amid rapid development. Urbanization brings nature deprivation and air pollution, causing 6.7 million deaths annually. With 68% of people projected to live in cities by 2050, reintegrating nature is crucial. Algavita offers promising solutions for healthier, sustainable urban spaces.
