Every(body) is urbanism operates at the intersection of nature, urbanism, architecture and the human body. This movie: The Veins of the City is part of a larger project, the Green Metropolis, an initiative launched by the Naturalis Biodiversity Center in the Netherlands. The Green Metropolis is aimed at producing real solutions to tackle planetary urgencies by focusing on the capacity of nature to contribute to the fabrication of a more sustainable built environment. The Green Metropolis will include a traveling exhibition that will display dresses designed by Iris van Herpen, proposals for the city of the future by the Why Factory, which will all blend together to form a series of ‘inclusive ecosystems’.
