Daniela Perrotti
Professeure
Daniela Perrotti is Professor Landscape Architecture at UCLouvain. Her research is an inquiry into the potential of urban metabolism theory and models to inform the planning and design of resource-efficient and climate-resilient cities. Her work positions itself distinctively in the landscape of research into urban metabolism applications in environmental planning and design by operating across two main areas.
The first area relates to the integration of ecosystem service frameworks into urban metabolism modelling approaches to inform green infrastructure planning and design. This includes investigation into nature-based solutions and green infrastructure options to reduce the demand on natural resources and mitigate the environmental pressure resulting from urbanization.
The second area focuses on the process of knowledge transfer between research and practice for the design of advanced urban metabolism assessment tools that can better assist policy making and urban planning practice. This includes retrospective evaluations of previously conducted research, as well as a set of pilot projects on the co-design of new urban metabolism models and decision support systems involving researchers and public/industry stakeholders.
Daniela serves/has served as Principal Investigator and co-Investigator for several research projects on integrated green infrastructure and urban metabolism modelling approaches, in collaboration with public/industry partners across Europe and South-America. These include academic/industry partners in the UK (Universities of Reading, Portsmouth, Leeds), Finland (Aalto University), Netherlands (Wageningen University and Research Centre, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions AMS), France (French National Institute for Agricultural Research INRA Versailles-Grignon, School of Landscape Architecture Versailles), Italy (Polytechnic University of Milan), Spain (Polytechnic University UP of Valencia), China (Xi’an Jiaotong University), Brazil (Federal University of Mato Grosso and Federal University of Goias).
Daniela is also founding member and scientific co-director of the international network Sustainable Urban Metabolisms (SUMs), bringing together leading academics as well as practitioners and decision-makers in Belgium, Finland, UK, Spain, Estonia, and the Netherlands. Among other activities, SUMs is implementing the first edition of an itinerant International Workshops series on Urban Metabolism and Green Infrastructure for Early-Career Researchers in top-ranked Universities in Europe.
Daniela has published over 30 peer-reviewed papers in international journals and books.
