Archana Sharma seeks ways for cities to coexist in mutualistic symbiosis with nature from the intersectional vortices of design, planning, science, and policy. Dr. Sharma is an Associate Professor at Morgan State University. Past affiliations with the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Maharaja Sayajirao University, National University of Singapore, RMIT University in Australia, and Harvard Kennedy School of Government continue to shape her ongoing transdisciplinary works. She has offered advisory services to local and international stakeholders ranging from the City of Baltimore to the United Nations, underscored by the ethos of an equitable and just environment for all. This is the second book on design thinking for Dr. Sharma.
