Areas of Expertise
Vision Planning
Resiliency by Design: Integrating social spaces and gathering places into the urban landscape to alleviate risk exposure to rain and heat events, provide recreational opportunities and improve the quality of life for neighbors and communities.
Urban Research
Feld observation, data analysis and policy-tracing are three key tools for identifying persistent bias in the spatial boundaries of social characteristics, including the highly polarized distribution of wealth and environmental resources by race.
Data Mapping
Spatial distribution of demographic data offers a glimpse at some of the social responses to policy decisions past and present, which are often leveraged with physical and geographic features. Revealing the underlying causes of these polarized social patterns is an essential step in creating equitable social landscapes in cities, particularly in the face of increased challenges due to climate change.
Terrain Mapping
A better understanding of natural systems is essential to preserving fragile ecosystems, partnering urban and natural conditions, and learning more about how cohesive systems operate.
