With more than half of the world population living in urban areas, an extraordinary pressure is placed on urban design and development. In her work at AMS Institute and as a mother with an intrinsic motivation to think about future generations, Ebru seeks to positively impact the quality of life in urban areas. Ideally, future generations should be able to enjoy city dwelling without worries about climate change, shortage of food, over population and depleted natural resources.
