Our choices today will have profound implications for generations to come. The most urgent needs (in no particular order) I work on are:1. designing cities in symbiosis with nature.2. transforming businesses to become circular, as well as nature- and climate positive.3. creating neighbourhoods where people have equal opportunities to live in health and wellbeing. 4. fostering a sense of belonging and inclusion in the communities I engage in.5. providing the knowledge base for healthy, biodiverse and climate adaptive cities.Over the years I have become part of many fruitfull collaborations and coalitions. We engage in a mutual effort to review our rusted routines and have the courage to start new practices. We all have a heroic role to play in this transformation, from policy to business, from science to citizens. The mission of the Data and Knowledge Hub Healthy Urban Living is to build healthy and sustainable streets, neighbourhoods and cities for all people. My team works on data and knowledge exchange in learning communities and living labs for the practical implementation of healthy and sustainable solutions in our day to day activities. My work is to help you forward into finding science based solutions that fit your organisation. I can also link you to relevant coalitions and communities to achieve your own goals in healthy urban living.Please contact me to explore how we can cooperate. Together, we can create livelihoods that are healthy, sustainable and foster community and harmony with nature.I have over 20 years of skill-based expertise in management, research and business development. My domains of expertise are in nature-positive cities, circular economy, climate adaptation and agriculture. Please reach out if you need me for more information, a lecture or a workshop.I hold a PhD in Science and Technology Studies and am an agricultural engineer from Wageningen University and Research, the Netherlands (cum laude). Skills: strategic, impact driven, business minded, inclusive, science-based future vision.At the moment I work on my third book on the Symbiotic City. I explore; How to recognize symbiotics in everyday life;Our dependencies with plants, animals and other living beings;The implications of symbiotics for the design of the built environment; How we can use symbiotics to innovate in ecological, circular, technical and institutional networks.Passions: literature, cooking comfort food, butterflies, lakes, islands and (botanical) gardens.
