Alicia De Haldevang
Alicia is principal sustainability and equalities consultant at Stantec. Her work revolves around making our places and spaces greener, more inclusive, and healthier, in the face of climate change. She is obsessed about climate change impacts on our health, equalities, infrastructure, energy, and daily lives, and how we need to embed these into all decision-making and design.
She is particularly interested in the equity, social sustainability, and climate resilience of our spaces - from playgrounds and parks to active travel routes, and what we need more of in our public realm, including toilets, shelter from weather, inclusive design principles, safety, and measures to reduce urban heat island effects. She has spent over 24 years in the Middle East and knows what extreme heat stress feels like.
