José Alfredo Ramírez Galindo

José is an architect and at the AA is Head of Ground Lab, a Head of the Landscape Urbanism programme and Head of the Metropolitan Landscapes programme.

José develops design strategies and landscape-oriented practices to support environmental justice movements as well as the implementation of progressive policies in the UK with impacts at a global scale. His work includes developing the field of agroecological urbanism, supporting investigative and cartographic practices to unveil the impact of extractive industries, and designing decentralised tools such as the Socio Hydrological Index for Mexico City and Oaxaca – all of which aim to amplify local community projects and provide decision-making tools to mitigate climate and environmental crises in localised contexts.
