Peter Bach grew up going to school in the middle of a Singapore rainforest, became an engineer because he couldn't draw, and now runs a company in Switzerland building digital tools to put nature back into cities. His podcast has better production values than mine.

We talk about why cities spent a century paving over nature in the name of efficiency, what AI and digital twins might actually be able to do about it, and why the question of who pays for nature is still basically unresolved. There are also beavers.
