In an Opinion for the Financial Times, Prof. Carlo Ratti explains how trees can help cool our cities. “[I]n a hotter world, trees should be considered more than decoration. This ancient infrastructure can cool not just our buildings but the cities themselves,” writes Ratti. “And with AI, we can now plant better, with precision urban forestry. In a warming world, the smartest climate tech may be rooted in the ground — and it doesn’t strain the power grid.”
