Seattle Urban Greenprint
The Seattle Urban Greenprint asks: how can the city function like the forested ecosystem that came before it? Our research focuses on three core ecosystem functions.
💧
Water Flows
Slowing, cleaning, and infiltrating stormwater the way a forest canopy and soils once did.
CO₂
Carbon
Sequestering carbon in soils, vegetation, and the built environment.
🐝
Biodiversity
Supporting pollinators, birds, and the web of life that keeps ecosystems resilient.
Our latest applied output of this work is SeedKit - a toolkit for designers and developers translating these strategies into projects.
