Nina-Marie Lister is Associate Professor (with tenure) of Urban + Regional Planning at Ryerson University in Toronto. Since 2010, she has been Visiting Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture at Harvard University, Graduate School of Design. In 2012, Prof. Lister was named Senior Scholar with the Centre for Humans and Nature. A Registered Professional Planner (MCIP, RPP) with a background in landscape ecology and environmental planning, she is the founding principal of plandform, a creative studio practice exploring the relationship between landscape, ecology, and urbanism. Prof. Lister’s research, teaching and practice focus on the confluence of landscape infrastructure and ecological processes within contemporary metropolitan regions, with a particular focus on resilience and adaptive systems approaches. She is co-editor of Projective Ecologies (with Chris Reed, Harvard GSD and ACTAR Press, 2014) and the The Ecosystem Approach: Complexity, Uncertainty, and Managing for Sustainability (with David Waltner-Toews and the late James Kay, Columbia University Press, 2008), and author of more than 30 professional practice and scholarly publications. These include recent contributions to Ecological Urbanism (Harvard GSD with Lars Müller Publishers 2010) and Large Parks (Princeton Architectural Press 2008, winner of the J.B. Jackson Book Prize). She recently served as Guest Editor of the Journal of Ecological Restoration for a special issue on landscape connectivity, and is an invited contributor to the 100th anniversary of the Ecological Society of America in a special edition of ESA’s premiere journal, Frontiers in Ecology. Her work has been featured in several planning and design exhibitions, including the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montréal, the Chicago Architecture Foundation, the Toronto Design Exchange, and the Van Alen Institute in New York. Prof. Lister served as the Professional Advisor for the 2010 ARC International Wildlife Crossing Infrastructure Design Competition, which developed the concept designs for a wildlife bridge to be built at the Vail Pass in Colorado. The concepts designs are part of a public exhibition on wildlife, infrastructure and urbanism: XING - (re)connecting landscapes which launched in Toronto at Evergreen Brick Works in 2013 and opens in Calgary in 2015.
