sustainability

Joan Iverson Nassauer, FCELA, FASLA, is a professor in the School for Environment & Sustainability at the University of Michigan and past editor-in-chief of Landscape and Urban Planning. She uses design-in-science as part of transdisciplinary approaches to build knowledge about how ecological design and planning affect human well-being, aesthetic experience, and the cultural sustainability of environmental benefits. Her work addresses design and planning of metropolitan and agricultural landscapes across scales—ranging from continental scale implications of agricultural practices to neighborhood scale implications of green infrastructure.
