Her research investigates the processes of co-design and urban rewilding. As a Fulbright-EPA Awardee, Mairéad will be based at the Urban Systems Lab in The New School. During this time, she will examine co-design in-depth, working with a case study community in New York City to design an urban wild space and develop an urban rewilding framework based on the findings.
