Professor Steffen Nijhuis specializes in Landscape-based Urbanism within the Department of Urbanism, focusing on sustainable urbanization, climate adaptation, and biodiversity through a transdisciplinary design approach. He emphasizes the importance of landscape as a foundational element for socially and ecologically inclusive spatial environments at various scales, from the city to individual street profiles. His ambition is to expand the landscape-based urbanism research field while promoting its significance within both academic and societal contexts. Nijhuis advocates for a landscape-based design framework that prioritizes ecological coherence, multifunctionality, and aesthetic values. He believes that effective design processes require a thorough understanding of landscape systems and the active involvement of stakeholders, which enhances the development of practical methods in knowledge creation and strategic design. With a commitment to investing in future generations, he aims to establish a center of expertise at Delft, transforming it into a global hub for information on landscape-based sustainable urban development.
