Dr Gweneth Leigh is a writer, practitioner, curator and researcher of the built environment. A graduate of Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, her work explores how the design of our open spaces impacts the health and habits of communities. She is a frequent contributor of landscape critique, with articles published in journals including Landscape Architecture Australia and the US professional journal Landscape Architecture Magazine.
She has curated exhibitions such as BLOOM, which examined how the design of everyday landscapes impact people’s physical and mental health. Prior to
commencing her PhD, she worked in both the public and private sectors. Her current research focuses on how our outdoor spaces can better meet the needs of one of Australia’s more vulnerable populations: our older youth.
