摘要

Cities urgently require sustainable and regenerative practices, such as nature-based solutions (NbSs). Successful in climate adaptation and increasing biodiversity, NbSs often combine gray and green infrastructure to tackle more complex issues. Simultaneously, synthetic biology (SynBio)—the ability to ‘write’ DNA and thereby enhance organisms—is on the rise. Despite its own set of challenges, including ethical ones, SynBio has the potential to address limitations in resources, increases in pollution and even the fading biodiversity of our cities. Hence, its role in regeneration, especially in conjunction with NbSs, should be explored. After all, interesting times require interesting measures.
