“I’ve always been concerned about the effects of urbanization on the natural environment. I’m also curious about how cultural values and traditions influence the way that we live and how that plays out in the design of our cities and transportation systems. For me, a career in urban planning was the obvious choice –an avenue to reduce our impact on the environment and improve people’s lives.”
Congratulations, Kristine!
