Camila Gomes Sant’Anna is an architect, with specializations in Landscape Architecture. She is a professor in this field at the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism at the Federal University of Goiás (UFG) in Brazil and also a Cultural Director at Brazilian Landscape Association (ABAP). In recent years, she has been trying to develop a landscape planning and design process which provides an open channel for communication with students and stakeholders. She concluded her PhD at the University of Brasília (Brazil) on green infrastructure and its contribution to City Landscape design. She was a Visiting Research Fellow at the School of Environment, Education and Development at University of Manchester, researching “The green infrastructure as a tool of landscape planning and design", with Professor Ian Mell (SEED- UoM). While at the University of Manchester, she  conducted technical visits to Italy (Politecnico di Torino) and Spain (Politecnico di Madri) and took part in multiple seminars, conferences and workshops on the themes of climate change, landscape, green infrastructure and social inclusion.Ian Mell is a Reader in Environmental & Landscape Planning at the University of Manchester, UK. Ian’s work focuses on the development, application and evaluation of Green Infrastructure policy and practice in the UK and internationally. His work examines the influence of governance, finance, and thematic understandings of landscape quality in the delivery of more sustainable places. Ian has received funding from the EU (Horizon 2020), the Newton Fund and Defra/Natural England to develop evidence supporting the delivery of Nature-Based Solutions and a national Green Infrastructure standard in the UK. He is also the author of Global Green Infrastructure (Routledge, 2016), Planning Cities with Nature (Lemes de Oliveira & Mell, 2019, Springer) and Green Infrastructure Planning: Reintegrating Landscape in Urban Planning (Lund Humphries, 2019).Luciana Bongiovanni Martins Schenk, PhD, has degrees in Architecture, Urbanism and Philosophy (USP).
