Mark’s TEDx Talk explores how nature’s mathematical principles—like the Fibonacci sequence—offer more than beauty; they provide a blueprint for more resilient and efficient cities. By integrating AI, satellite technology, and data-driven insights, Mark demonstrates how cities can optimize waste management, energy use, and urban planning just as nature has perfected survival over millions of years. Through this lens, he envisions a future where cities don’t just expand, but evolve—adapting, responding, and thriving like living ecosystems. Mark, a visionary technologist and sustainability advocate, has dedicated his career to finding innovative solutions for urban challenges. With a passion for blending nature’s timeless wisdom with modern technology, he has spearheaded groundbreaking projects, including AI-driven satellite waste detection systems and IoT applications for urban efficiency. Mark’s work exemplifies the fusion of cutting-edge technology and sustainable principles. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
