Isabella Bhoan

Isabella Bhoan is a chartered landscape architect and the Head of Landscape Europe & APAC at WW+P, London. Her work operates at the intersection of ecology, technology, and social equity, reimagining landscape architecture as a tool for environmental justice and urban rewilding. With a global portfolio spanning diverse climate zones and urban conditions, Isabella brings a systems-based approach to sustainable design that is both data-driven and deeply contextual. She is the co-developer of Landscape Information Modelling (LIM), a digitally enabled planning tool that quantifies ecological benefits and integrates them into digital design workflows. LIM enables more responsive, regenerative, and inclusive landscape strategies, particularly in resource-constrained or ecologically sensitive contexts. Isabella’s practice foregrounds collaborative, nature-positive futures, advocating for technological innovation that enhances biodiversity, supports public health, and empowers communities through landscape-led development.

Are Smart Cities Smart Enough? Beyond the Dashboard

While cities increasingly adopt data-driven technologies to optimise infrastructure and services, these systems often overlook ecological processes and living systems that are critical to long-term sustainability.
