  In recent decades, technology has become a defining force in the development and transformation of cities. From the industrial revolution to the rise of the internet, technological advancements have continually reshaped urban life, making cities hubs of innovation, connectivity, and economic growth. Today, as cities face growing populations, climate change, and resource constraints, technology plays a central role in addressing these challenges while also opening new possibilities for urban living. The integration of digital technologies, automation, and data analytics is driving what we now recognize as the emergence of "smart cities," where every aspect of urban life is enhanced by technology. These advancements not only improve efficiency but also offer the potential to foster more sustainable, livable, and equitable urban environments. 
  The influence of technology in cities extends across various domains, including infrastructure, transportation, healthcare, and governance. In terms of urban infrastructure, cities are adopting digital systems for managing everything from electricity grids to water distribution, allowing for more responsive and efficient service delivery. Transportation has also undergone a transformation with the introduction of autonomous vehicles, electric cars, and new mobility services like ride-sharing, reshaping how people move within cities and reducing the environmental impact of urban travel. Similarly, the integration of sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) devices enables real-time data collection that informs city management, improving everything from traffic flow to waste management.

  Pneumonia is a serious lung infection that affects millions of people worldwide, ranging from mild cases to life-threatening conditions. It occurs when the air sacs in one or both lungs become inflamed and fill with fluid or pus, making it difficult for oxygen to reach the bloodstream. This inflammation can result from various pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Pneumonia can occur as a complication of another illness or as a primary infection, and it affects people of all ages, though certain groups, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with compromised immune systems, are at higher risk. 
  Understanding pneumonia starts with recognizing the different types of the disease. The most common types are bacterial, viral, and fungal pneumonia, each caused by different pathogens and each requiring distinct treatment approaches. Bacterial pneumonia is typically caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, which is the most common bacterial pathogen responsible for hospitalizations. Other bacteria, such as Haemophilus influenzae and Staphylococcus aureus, can also lead to pneumonia. Viral pneumonia, often caused by influenza viruses, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and coronaviruses, is another common form, and its severity can vary based on the viral strain and the individual’s overall health. Fungal pneumonia is less common and typically occurs in individuals with weakened immune systems, with fungi like Histoplasma, Coccidioides, and Cryptococcus causing infections.

  Hannah Dale, the artist and founder of the award-winning nature-centric gift company Wrendale Designs, takes you through a year on her farm in rural Lincolnshire where, alongside her husband, she has undertaken an ambitious rewilding project.
