The collapse of the biosphere and biodiversity ranks among the main challenges of our time. This project titled Urbioms of the Symbio(s)cene explores urban planning based on the restoration and support of natural habitats. The work presents the concept of URBIOMs—bioinclusive parts of cities—and analyzes map data for digital processes used in their design. In conclusion, generative AI and other generative tools are employed to visualize the metamorphosis of a rewilded urban city plan.
