Current Green City Studio Projects

In Fall, 2024, the Green City Studio is exploring the potential for small-patch habitats to be developed with the intention of supporting a variety of arthropod species. A local, community-based nonprofit organization, Clean & Green Pomona, has expressed interest in promoting arthropod-friendly landscape design, perhaps through the establishment of a garden certification program. Our work will 1) identify and understand indicator arthropod species that may be targets for design, 2) develop a model to prioritize areas of the Pomona Valley for this work, based on ecological integrity and socio-economic characteristics, 3) develop a conceptual certification program and 4) illustrate certified design concepts for various landscape types (residential, commercial, public).
