Assistant Professor, School of the Environment at Yale University
Arianna Salazar-Miranda is an urban planner, designer, and data scientist working to create sustainable urban environments by harnessing new data sources and emerging technologies. Her research employs computational and quantitative methods to investigate the relationship between urban planning policies, the built environment, human behavior, and sustainability. Her recent projects have explored the design sustainability of suburban neighborhoods, the enduring impact of redlining on environmental risks in disadvantaged communities, and the viability and social consequences of adopting planning models that encourage localized living. After completing her Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Mansueto Institute and Division of Social Sciences with adviser Emily Talen, she joined Yale University as an Assistant Professor of Urban Planning and Data Science. She earned her PhD in Computational Urban Science and a Master’s in Urban Planning from MIT. Before her doctoral studies, she obtained a Licentiate in Architecture from Veritas University in Costa Rica.
