Megamorphosis

The first ever ‘summit of the future’ will be staged by the United Nations next year. It might be our last chance.

How pre-industrial societies and cultures mesh together with their host environments.

Professor Herbert Girardet today launches a major new series of essays - Megamorphosis - exclusively with The Ecologist.

Creating regenerative urban systems is a key to solving the many interconnected crises of our times.
