Alison Sant is a designer, artist, activist, and mother who is inspired by community-led initiatives to combat the climate crisis. She is the author of From the Ground Up: Local Efforts to Create Resilient Cities.

We talked about Alison's upbringing in Washington D.C., at the heart of the environmental movement's origin, and we dove into several of her favorite examples of bottom-up climate solutions: from San Francisco's parklet program, to Baltimore's effort to recycle wood from abandoned buildings. Check out more or Alison's work and her interdisciplinary design firm, Urban Projects, at studioforurbanprojects.org.
