Adjunct Assistant Professor

Daphne Lundi is an urban planner and climate policymaker whose work bridges environmental justice, community resilience, and design. She is the Managing Director of Urban Ocean Lab, a national climate policy think tank focused on the future of coastal cities. Previously, she served as a Deputy Director at the NYC Mayor’s Office of Climate and Environmental Justice, where she led initiatives on extreme heat mitigation, social infrastructure, and open space access. She was a 2024–2025 New City Critics fellow with The Architectural League of New York and Urban Design Forum, and an inaugural Moynihan Public Scholar at The City College of New York, where her research, teaching, and writing explored how science fiction can inspire more imaginative, inclusive, and future-ready approaches to policy and urban planning. She is a founding member of BlackSpace, serves on the board of the Center for Zero Waste Design and the Octavia Project, and co-leads Romantic Urbanism, an ongoing project that explores how cities can foster love, connection, and social cohesion through design, essays, and visual art.
