Ms Kekeletso Ramodibe

Kekeletso is a candidate Landscape Architect, and a research assistant at the Future Water Research Institute working on the Pathways to Water Sensitive Cities (PAWS) project. She has a background in landscape architecture, environmental science and social anthropology. She is also doing a transdisciplinary PhD focusing on Indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) and the role they play in determining the use and implementation of nature-based solutions and blue-green infrastructure from a design and engineering perspective. Her work largely focusses on stewarding the vernacular through essentialising citizen-led design, the role waterways, both natural and constructed, play in shaping cities and the importance of translanguaging institutionalised approaches to sustainable development.
