Prof. Fabiano Lemes de Oliveira is an Associate Professor in Urbanism at the Dipartimento di Architettura e Studi Urbani (DAStU) at Politecnico di Milano, Italy.

Recent research areas include green urbanism, sustainable and resilient cities, planning models aimed at balancing urbanisation with nature - in particular related to the green wedge idea, green and blue infrastructure, and urban design and planning history and theory. He is the author of the book Green Wedge Urbanism: History, Theory and Contemporary Practice, published by Bloomsbury (London/ New York) and the main editor of the book Planning Cities with Nature: Theories, Strategies and Methods, published by Springer (Amsterdam).
