A virtual exhibition on how nature transforms cities opens for its first visitors during NetworkNature Week.
Nature Works asks what a city would be like if it worked like a forest or a meadow. It is built around four transformations, from concrete to urban forest, from concrete channels to meandering river, from supermarket to food forest, from lawns to pollinator-friendly meadows. Visitors pick a companion and see the city through their eyes: a drop of water, a wild bee, a leaf, or an elderly resident.
From 2 November, the exhibition is available in a beta version. It is deliberately unfinished, because an exhibition about what people can change should be shaped by the people who walk through it first. The walk takes about ten minutes, and the short form at the end feeds directly into the full version, which opens in December 2026.
Nature Works is produced by The Nature of Cities in collaboration with NetworkNature. It is built on more than 230 contributions from 34 countries and released open access, so hubs, schools and cities can use and adapt it.
