- Living infrastructures preferable to augmented systems.
- Use existing natural networks instead of making cities smart artificially.
- Look for a symbiosis with exiting natural networks like the WoodWideWeb & myceleum.
- Develop technology that grows freely. Fungi grows everywhere and is also a conductor for data streams.
- A network infrastructure should be Alive. Able to adapt. Able to evolve. Maintain itself.
Thoughts expressed by Martina Huynh in a talk at thingsCon 2018 in Amsterdam
- Living infrastructures preferable to augmented systems.

Self-healing material can build itself from carbon in the air: #Regenerative
http://news.mit.edu/2018/self-healing-material-carbon-air-1011A material designed by MIT chemical engineers can react with carbon dioxide from the air, to grow, strengthen, and even repair itself. The polymer, which might someday be used as construction or repair material or for protective coatings, continuously converts the greenhouse gas into a carbon-based material that reinforces itself.
