_Kristina Hill, Professor of Landscape Architecture & Environmental Planning and
Urban design at the University of California, Berkeley

Kristina Hil is an Associate Professor at the University of California in Berkeley, where she teaches environmental planning and urban design. Her research investigates adaptation to climate change using comparative international examples. Kristina specializes in understanding how rising coastal groundwater will affect adaptation strategies. Her proposals integrate financing and design strategies, water quality concerns, and environmental justice. Her current focus is on the San Francisco Bay Area. Kristina has also worked with diverse local and international organizations to develop proposals for New Orleans, Seattle, Virginia Beach and the South Bronx. Her research is published in both scientific and professional journals, and she lectures internationally on infrastructure and adaptation. Kristina received her policy education as the head of a public agency in Seattle tasked with building a $2 billion-dollar project, where she learned valuable lessons about infrastructure, public finance, crisis management, and American politics. Her PhD is from Harvard University, with previous degrees in geology and landscape planning. She co-authored Ecology and Design: Frameworks for Learning (Island Press, 2002), and is now working on a book about coastal adaptation to climate change.

 

 

 

La presentación consistirá en una reflexión desde la teoría del diseño y la arquitectura del paisaje y su posicionamiento  frente a escenarios disruptivos creados por perturbaciones naturales u otras experiencias abruptas que la sociedad tiene que afrontar cada vez con mayor frecuencia.

 

La sesión consistirá en una presentación breve (15-20 min) de cada ponente y una posterior mesa redonda moderada por la profesora Pepa Morán así como un turno de preguntas abierta al público.   https://meet.google.com/kyk-rsog-cvw?authuser=1&hl=ca
