Interspecies Urban Planning, Reimaging City Infrastructures with Slime Mould (2019)
Book Chapter

The slime mould Physarum polycephalum optimises its shape in a geometrically constrained space. We explore this property in order to reconsider how we could develop more inclusive, interspecies approaches to urban planning and infrastructure. Working...
