Paul J. Coseo
Program Head and Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture + Urban Design + Environmental Design, The Design School @ Arizona State University
Paul is the program Head & Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture, Urban Design, and Environmental Design at Arizona State University’s (ASU) Design School. He investigates how landscape architecture, planning, and design can reduce extreme urban microclimates for more thermally equitable communities. Extreme microclimatic conditions can disrupt energy systems, water quality, availability, residents’ routines, and incomes, degrade the quality of life, threaten residents’ health and well-being, and create challenges for urban sustainability and resilience. Working at the intersection of meteorology, landscape architecture, and urban planning, he developed a focus area in landscape architecture called Urban Climate Design.
