Membro del team sviluppo del progetto e della giuria del concorso
Il Prof. Fabiano Lemes de Oliveira è professore associato di Urbanistica presso il Dipartimento di Architettura e Studi Urbani (DAStU) del Politecnico di Milano, Italia. Il Prof. Lemes è stato recentemente Visiting Scholar presso la Graduate School of Design della Harvard University e Guest Professor e Visiting Scholar presso il New York Institute of Technology. La sua ricerca si colloca all'intersezione tra pianificazione urbana e paesaggistica, con un'attenzione particolare al modo in cui le idee sui sistemi di spazi verdi sono state considerate nel pensiero progettuale. Le aree di ricerca più recenti includono le soluzioni basate sulla natura nella pianificazione urbana e nel design urbano, l'urbanistica verde, le città sostenibili e resilienti e i modelli di pianificazione volti a bilanciare l'urbanizzazione con la natura. È il ricercatore principale nazionale del progetto Biodiversa+ NatureScape: Enhancing Urban Sustainability for Environmental Quality and Human Well-being through Nature-Based Solutions Transformation Labs, ed è stato il ricercatore principale del progetto Polisocial Award 2022 “NBSouth_ Nature-Based Solutions via retrofitting for Climate Adaptation: a case in the Global South”, del progetto del British Council Newton Fund Programme “Re-naturing Cities” e del progetto del Global Challenges Research Fund "The Environment-Culture-Technology Nexus: Envisioning Future Green Cities". È autore del libro Green Wedge Urbanism: History, Theory and Contemporary Practice (2017), pubblicato da Bloomsbury (Londra/New York), coautore di Nature-based solutions for cities in the Global South (2025) di Routledge, e coeditore di Nature-based solutions for sustainable urban planning (2022), Re-imagining Resilient Productive Landscapes (2022) e Planning Cities with Nature: Theories, Strategies and Methods (2019) di Springer.

Prof. Fabiano Lemes de Oliveira is an Associate Professor in Urbanism at the Department of Architecture and Urban Studies (DAStU) at Politecnico di Milano, Italy. Prof. Lemes has recently been a Visiting Scholar at Harvard University Graduate School of Design and a Guest Professor and Visiting Scholar at the New York Institute of Technology. His research lies at the intersection of urban and landscape planning, with a focus on how ideas for green space systems have been considered in planning thought. Recent research areas include nature-based solutions in urban planning and urban design, green urbanism, sustainable and resilient cities, and planning models aimed at balancing urbanisation with nature. He is the national principal investigator in the Biodiversa+ project NatureScape: Enhancing Urban Sustainability for Environmental Quality and Human Well-being through Nature-Based Solutions Transformation Labs, and was the Principal Investigator of the Polisocial Award 2022 project ‘NBSouth_ Nature-Based Solutions via retrofitting for Climate Adaptation: a case in the Global South’, the British Council Newton Fund Programme project ‘Re-naturing Cities’ and in the Global Challenges Research Fund project ‘The Environment-Culture-Technology Nexus: Envisioning Future Green Cities’. He is the author of the book Green Wedge Urbanism: History, Theory and Contemporary Practice (2017), published by Bloomsbury (London/ New York), co-author of Nature-based solutions for cities in the Global South (2025) by Routledge, and co-editor of Nature-based solutions for sustainable urban planning (2022), Re-imagining Resilient Productive Landscapes (2022) and Planning Cities with Nature: Theories, Strategies and Methods (2019) by Springer.
