Aliza Sovani is a landscape architect, documentary film producer, and PhD scholar at the Universidad de Sevilla (Spain). A Fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, LEED Green Associate, and a Carleton University and Harvard University alumna, her work sits at the intersection of cultural landscapes, climate justice, and environmental ethics. She is co-author of A Sustainable Future: Urban Parks and Gardens and A Landscape Approach: From Local Communities to Territorial Systems and has served as a design critic and guest lecturer at Carleton University, Harvard University, the University of Toronto, and the American University of Beirut. Her teaching draws on lived case studies across diverse geographies and disciplines — including environmental design, urban policy, and conservation — and encourages students to approach design through broader historical, ethical, and environmental perspectives. As founder of Earth Tones, her work has been featured by National Geographic and the CBC, using storytelling to make complex environmental issues more accessible.
