Interview with Zoe Wang, landscape architect and urban designer. We will talk about her vision for the future of cities, regeneration, multipurpose infrastructure, adaptive urban furniture, and many more.

Zoe Wang is a landscape architect and urban designer who is passionate about regenerative urban systems. With seven years of experience in the built environment, she explores how cities can shift from extractive infrastructures to living infrastructures that participate in the Earth’s natural cycles. She is currently collaborating with the City of Melbourne through the Fishermans Bend Digital Innovation Challenge, piloting public furniture integrated with worm farming to support urban nutrient circularity. Zoe’s work brings together design, ecology, and community participation to create urban environments where people and natural systems can regenerate together.
