Beneath the pavement, a living economy fuels cities—roots, microbes, and design in dialogue.
City trees share nutrients underground via fungal networks, effectively forming a communal 'internet' that feeds weaker trees.
Urban trees age faster underground than aboveground, with root systems expanding aggressively to outcompete pavement stressors.
In crowded streets, tree roots actively steer water flow beneath sidewalks, creating invisible rivers that rehydrate entire blocks.
Some city trees are trained to emit gas from their roots that repels invasive pests, acting as natural biocontrols in concrete jungles.
