Abstract Urban infrastructure in Ghana faces increasing challenges due to rapid urbanization, climate change, and resource constraints. This research explores how biomimicry—a design approach inspired by nature—can enhance urban resilience by fostering a collaborative framework between architects and engineers. The study introduces the Biomimicry-Integrated Urban Resilience Model (BIURM), which provides a structured methodology for integrating biomimetic principles into urban planning and infrastructure development. Key focus areas include material selection and structural efficiency, passive cooling and energy optimization, and adaptive facades with water management systems. Through a critical review of case studies of biomimetic projects such as the Eden Project, One Ocean Pavilion, and Seawater Greenhouse, this study highlights the essential role of engineer-architect collaboration in bridging the gap between conceptual biomimetic design and technical feasibility. The findings emphasize the need for interdisciplinary research, policy support, and investment in biomimetic solutions to drive sustainable urban development in Ghana. The research concludes that by systematically applying biomimicry, cities can enhance resilience, reduce environmental impact, and create climate-responsive infrastructure tailored to local needs.
