{"id":1437,"name":"Olivia Bina","url":"","description":"I have a longstanding interest in the evolving relationship with nature and its implications for 21st-century challenges. I focus on nature-based urban transformative change, critiques of scarcity and growth, and the unlimited potential of human-nature connectedness to progress beyond traditional notions of development. I am a Senior Researcher at the Institute of Social Sciences\u2013University of Lisbon and a Fellow of the World Academy of Art and Science. My journey is necessarily interdisciplinary, with a degree in Political Sciences (Statale di Milano), Masters and PhD in Geography (University of Cambridge), and Masters in Landscape Architecture (Universit\u00e0 di Cagliari). I love trees, catching an early moon-rise, gardening, and creating something beautiful from a lump of clay.","link":"https:\/\/www.thenatureofcities.com\/TNOC\/author\/oliviabina\/","slug":"oliviabina","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/www.thenatureofcities.com\/TNOC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/25-Dublin-at-TCD-24x24.jpeg","48":"https:\/\/www.thenatureofcities.com\/TNOC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/25-Dublin-at-TCD-48x48.jpeg","96":"https:\/\/www.thenatureofcities.com\/TNOC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/25-Dublin-at-TCD-96x96.jpeg"},"meta":[],"simple_local_avatar":{"media_id":60004,"full":"https:\/\/www.thenatureofcities.com\/TNOC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/25-Dublin-at-TCD.jpeg","blog_id":1,"192":"https:\/\/www.thenatureofcities.com\/TNOC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/25-Dublin-at-TCD-192x192.jpeg","96":"https:\/\/www.thenatureofcities.com\/TNOC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/25-Dublin-at-TCD-96x96.jpeg","250":"https:\/\/www.thenatureofcities.com\/TNOC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/25-Dublin-at-TCD-250x250.jpeg","125":"https:\/\/www.thenatureofcities.com\/TNOC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/25-Dublin-at-TCD-125x125.jpeg","24":"https:\/\/www.thenatureofcities.com\/TNOC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/25-Dublin-at-TCD-24x24.jpeg","48":"https:\/\/www.thenatureofcities.com\/TNOC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/25-Dublin-at-TCD-48x48.jpeg"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thenatureofcities.com\/TNOC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1437","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thenatureofcities.com\/TNOC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
