The
Bioplanning
Institute
In response to the urgent challenges posed by the climate crisis, social behavior, and the health of both humans and biodiversity, the Bioplanning Institute is committed to accelerating the global development of regenerative urban planning and architecture.
Bioplanning places a strong emphasis on making nature central to communities, prioritizing nature nodes and cellular aggregation over traditional land subdivisions.
The Bioplanning Institute is a non-profit organization established by Supernature Labs and ten founding members, dedicated to advancing the creation of a novel design discipline that seamlessly integrates urban planning with ecological practices.
Our institution’s mission is to advance Bioplanning as a recognized design discipline through research and development, education, and talent activation.
