:( Aw. Sorry. Um, well, there was basically a part about using bioengineered protocells as chemical catalysts to rebuild concrete that is underwater and wearing away, such as what you might seen in Venice or cities with a lot of canals. And then there was a part about greenhouse cities, where farming takes place in stacked acres ten stories tall to make the best use of land. And then the last part I remember is underground cities and how to light them naturally - they had some really cool concept art for that.

But there's a draw back, as you'd need all manner of Dwarves, and I hear those are in short supply.
