Urban acupuncture treats the city as an organism, identifies where risk causes stress, and applies interventions for healing.

The concept is used in cities worldwide to tackle urban challenges like urbanization and climate change. As our problems grow more complex, our solutions for resilience need to become more creative.

Join us in a discussion about urban acupuncture examples around the world: toxic tours in Mexico, seismic sensors in Los Angeles, green corridors in Singapore, and more.
