Urban planners in Brazil are spearheading a design revolution aimed at significantly reducing the carbon footprint of cities. With over half the global population residing in urban areas, which contribute approximately 70 percent of greenhouse gas emissions fueling the climate crisis, the need for sustainable development is paramount.
This initiative focuses on creating ‘agrihoods’ – neighborhoods that integrate agricultural practices into their design. The goal is to develop built-up areas with a dramatically smaller environmental impact, offering a potential model for future urban development worldwide.
