Hannah Hopewell

Contributor Profile

Dr Hannah Hopewell is a critical urbanist whose research, teaching and professional practices acknowledge the messy and often contradictory realities of urban life amidst accelerating socio-spatial-climate injustice. Hannah is motivated by the promise of design to bring about just collective landscapes and sociality’s. Her work aims to destabilise the prevailing extractive land development processes of settler colonialism by ecologising design practices grounded in a relational ethos. Hannah currently teaches landscape-led urbanism at Te Herenga Waka and practices with TOA Architects.
