Hannah Hopewell (Pākehā) explores the intersection of public space and landscape process through spatial and environmental justice concerns in settler-colonial contexts. She is especially interested in new social-spatial relations and forms of collective invention that emerge with and beyond the programs of public landscape design, along with the role collective landscape imaginations plays in the design of public spaces.

She has a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture from UNITEC University of Technology, a Master of Urban Design from the University of Auckland, and a creative-practice PhD from AUT University, and over 20 years of transdisciplinary design practice experience across diverse scales and contexts. Hannah has over 20 years of transdisciplinary design practice experience across diverse scales and contexts.
