Nancy Clark presides as the Director of the UF Center for Hydro-generated Urbanism (UF|CHU), a forward-looking international platform advocating for studies in adaptation, resiliency, environmental justice, and the conservation of assets in water-centric urban areas. In her role at the UF School of Architecture, she also heads the MSAS Master’s Degree Concentrations focusing on Sustainability and Regenerative Practices. Her contributions to urban resilience and sustainable development, particularly for coastal and riverine cities, have gained international acclaim, culminating in widespread recognition at exhibitions and awards, and she has delivered lectures worldwide in countries like Mexico, Brazil, Italy, South Africa, France, Colombia, and across the US. Clark is the driving force behind the editorial work of “Urban Waterways: Evolving Paradigms for Hydro-Based Urbanisms,” a UNESCO series publication that delves into the ecological, cultural, and economic trajectories of 21st-century aquatic cities. She spearheads the Sustainable Settlements, Water Management, and Renewable Energy Design Lab and plays a pivotal role in the Project Leadership Team for the Puerto Rico Re_Start International Research Project and Workshops. This initiative is dedicated to the prudent stewardship of natural resources and the reevaluation of existing settlement models to pave the way for a thriving and sustainable future for Puerto Rico through cross-disciplinary and inter-institutional partnerships. As a scientific committee member for the National Council for Science and the Environment (NCSE) at their 18th National Conference and Global Forum on Science Policy and the Environment, she has also chaired the Global Forum Symposium “Designing Urban Resilience beyond the Science: The Project of the Future.” Additionally, she was the Chief Curator and a key contributor to the “Florida 3.0: Reinventing our Future” exhibit at the Miami Center for Architecture and Design, which showcased the ongoing research by the CHU team into Florida’s aquatic settlements and hydro-environments within the larger narrative of emerging paradigms for water-based communities’ evolution.
