A critical analysis of biodiversity in urban planning
My PhD will consider the role of and influences on urban planning in reversing the catastrophic decline in species and habitats. and the potential for such gains to be a mechanism for levelling up the urban environment and making biodiversity more resilient. I am particularly interested in the interaction of such gains with health and well-being of residents, sense of place and belonging and nature based solutions to prevent, reduce and manage urban environmental problems such as pollution and flooding and to tackle climate change.
