Dr. Nourhan Hamdy is a Research Fellow and postdoctoral researcher specializing in urban planning, with a focus on integrating ecosystem services into sustainable city design. She holds a PhD in Urban Regeneration, during which she was awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship as part of the EU-funded TREND (Transition with Resilience for Evolutionary Development) project. She currently contributes to the ECO-SET (A Multidisciplinary Approach to Plan Ecosystem Services for Cities in Transition) project, where she develops innovative, data-driven approaches to enhance biodiversity protection, urban resilience, and climate adaptation in urban areas. Her work spans geospatial analysis and information and communication technologies, applying tools such as QGIS, Urban Atlas datasets, and CO₂ emission models to inform evidence-based urban planning strategies. Dr. Hamdy is actively involved in translating theoretical research into practical applications, supporting policymakers in implementing nature-based solutions and advancing more sustainable urban development pathways.
