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.

The tree in the machine: Why urban heat resilience planning still can’t see the tree

urban heat resilience
Urban heat resilience strategies increasingly rely on digital tools, heat mapping, and building performance models, yet trees remain largely excluded from the systems used to guide investment and regulatory decisions. This article examines why urban forests continue to be treated as contextual elements rather than critical cooling infrastructure, despite extensive evidence of their thermal, social, and public health benefits. It argues that integrating tree canopy data into urban heat resilience planning is essential for equitable and effective climate adaptation.
