Kevin VEGA

Kevin is an urban ecologist who has spent nearly a decade researching the importance of small green spaces for biodiversity in the city of Zurich, Switzerland after crossing the ocean from New York. His work has focused on the promotion of urban wildflowers, improving connectivity, and soil quality & function. Kevin has worked hand in hand with architects and city greenspace managers to ensure that his research addresses their needs and always has an eye on practical implementation, translating ecological research into direct design recommendations and guidelines. This also extends to the community, where he has worked with a local non-profit to lead community science projects on urban pollinators and spontaneous flora. He holds a PhD in Ecology from the ETH, Zurich
