ECOLOGICAL HARMONY
The Bioplanning Institute urgently seeks support to initiate a groundbreaking approach to urban development, emphasizing social and ecological harmony. We are doubling the volumetric mass of the cities in the next 20 years. Our mission is to address the critical challenge of accommodating an additional 2.5 billion people in urban areas within the next few decades.
Creating a Conflict-Concious Environment in Every Sense
Projected urban population:
+1.6 million people a week
in the next 20 years
Rapid urbanization, climate change, and conflicts present unprecedented challenges to environmental sustainability, public health, and social cohesion.
196 million hectares* of trees to account for 1 year of world's emissions
*Roughly the size of Mexico
We are doubling volumetric mass of the cities in the next 20 years
Bioplanning Approach: Cellular Cities Off The Grid
Bioplanning approach prioritizes social and ecological harmony in future cities. Developed with esteemed members and organizations, this approach integrates biomimicry and regenerative practices to address urban challenges. Central to our approach is the cellular structure model, which places nature at the center of urban design. Learn more.

Comparative Feasibility Studies: Ecological Harmony for The Greatest Need
We are presenting scientific measurements that demonstrate improved land performance in these areas through our partnership with local municipalities. If you have a pilot project idea, please contact us at: info@bioplanninginstitute.org

Higher Quality of Life
Economic Benefits
Exclusive IP
Demonstrate significant improvements in air quality, public health, safety, and overall livability.
Showcase how bioplanned communities can increase land value and attract higher property prices due to improved living conditions.
The Bioplanning Institute retains control over implementation and standards, ensuring the highest quality outcomes.
The Future Goals
Certification
System
Following the conclusion of the feasibility studies, the ultimate goal of The Bioplanning Institute will be developing a robust certification system for bioplanned projects, similar to LEED but focused on urban planning. This system will incorporate key metrics from six research categories and serve as a benchmark for future urban developments. The certification will ensure adherence to the highest standards of sustainability and social harmony, providing a framework for cities worldwide to achieve ecological and social resilience.
Bioplanning AI
Bioplanning AI is a digital twin designed for conducting Comparative Feasibility Studies in future urban development. This tool utilizes computational technologies to create digital bioplanning communities, allowing for the precise measurement and analysis of key metrics. These metrics will be developed during initial feasibility studies in collaboration with top researchers.
