Rewilding's symbiosis with collabtech

In "Making Wild Cities — Notes on Participatory Urban (Re)Wilding", leading urban tech practioner Usman Haque presents a broad survey of the literature on urban rewilding. This is defined as "a range of processes through which humans ensure that non-human species and natural processes are re-introduced into a landscape in a way that they can become self-sustaining once more". Haque concludes that rewilding will require new forms of participatory decision making—"Making wild cities will require radically new decision-making systems that account for our complex interactions with each other and enable us to cooperate even without consensus".
