A [2026·辽宁大连高二期中]
If you’ve never heard of a biophilic city (亲自然城市) before, you probably will soon—there’s a growing movement emerging globally.
A biophilic city is a city where the planning and design largely integrate the natural world into the daily lives of residents. It’s based on the idea that humans have a deep love for nature and desire to connect with nature.

“We describe the vision of biophilic cities as immersive (沉浸式的) nature—nature is not just something to be found in a park here and there that you have to walk to, but rather we need to reimagine the city as a park, or as a forest,” says Tim Beatley, a professor of sustainable communities. “There is a renewed (更新的) appreciation for how essential nature is in cities and how it can help to make them more beautiful places,” Beatley says. “We know, for instance, that cities face great pressures from climate change—a key response must be nature and nature-based solutions, such as cooling cities

with trees and urban forests.”
Beatley’s colleague, Peter Newman, a professor of sustainability, says he has devoted nearly 50 years to activism, research and teaching how to make cities more sustainable. He made a film with Beatley, called Singapore: Biophilic City.
Singapore is seen as an exceptional biophilic city. “In our film we show how biophilic values began with the first Prime Minister of Singapore saying that the environment in the city was as important as the economy,” says Newman, who got the idea of making the film

after he spent some time in Singapore teaching a course. “Singapore is one of the best examples in showing that you can accommodate city development and population growth and also actually protect nature as well,” says Newman. Greenery is woven throughout the city, not only in many parks, but integrated even into the design of tall buildings.
“Singapore has now officially changed its motto from ‘Singapore, Garden City’ to ‘Singapore, a City in a Garden’,” says Beatley.

Over the past few centuries, we have dug, burned, drilled, pumped, lit, launched, driven, and flown our way to adding 2.4 trillion metric tons of carbon dioxide to Earth’s atmosphere. That’s as much CO2 as would be given off annually by 522 billion cars, or 65 cars per person living today.
On a lonely, lunar-like valley of Iceland, Edda Aradóttir is on a mission to put CO2 back where it came from. She’s returning a tiny bit of it today but much, much more of it in the years ahead.

In sending CO2 deep beneath the surface of the planet, she’s aiming to reverse one of the most challenging acts of human history: the digging of massive amounts of carbon under the ground as fossil fuels.
Aradóttir shows how CO2 caught from the air is mixed with water, and then fed through a complicated and detailed system of pipes that course downward 2,500 feet or so. There, the dissolved (溶解的) carbon dioxide meets porous basalt, a type of dark rock that comes from volcanoes, creating cream-coloured spots in the rock

below.
Scientists like Aradóttir are working on ambitious projects to remove carbon dioxide from the air and lock it away. In Arizona, an engineering professor shows his “mechanical trees”, a single one of which he says may someday be able to do the work of a thousand regular trees in catching and storing CO2. In Australia, a leading oceanographer shows that seaweed is the answer, if only we’d help it grow in giant underwater gardens that could store billions of tons of carbon dioxide. In Zürich, a Uruguayan inventor presents a small
