About The Talk
The trade-off between urban development and safe-guarding our natural and cultural heritage is a challenge faced across all corners of the globe, yet requires local and context specific solutions. In this talk, Dr Michal Switalski will introduce place-making (through the lenses of theory, research and practice) as a way of transitioning from trade-offs to synergies for sustainable transformations.
About The Speaker
Dr. Michal Switalski is a staff member of the Professorship for Landscape and Environmental Planning at ETH Zürich. His research interests include the relevance of people-place relationships for landscape planning, the rural-urban continuum and peri-urban areas, land systems modelling with a focus on integrating qualitative features within quantitative frameworks, and landscape aesthetics and preferences.
He is involved in the GLOBESCAPE research project, that will contribute to a next generation of tools and methods to foster the development of resilient landscapes; this is in response to urbanization that threatens landscape diversity and brings along new social and environmental problems.
