Sara Torabi Moghadam is an Assistant Professor at Politecnico di Torino (PoliTo) with over 10 years of dedicated experience in the realm of Sustainable Cities. She has actively contributed to numerous national and European projects, including DIMMER-FP7-ICT, SCORE-H2020, MOLOC-INTERREG EUROPE, and CESABMED-INTERREG MED. Throughout her career, she has supported both public administration and private sector entities aiding them in achieving SDGs. Her research is primarily focused on co-designing sustainable, digital and circular urban planning strategies, assessing the socio-economic impacts of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS), evaluating Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and employing participatory approaches in the process. Dr. Torabi’s expertise particularly lies in the development and utilization of Multi-Criteria Spatial Decision Support Systems (MC-SDSS), aimed at streamlining the participatory decision-making process for stakeholders involved. As the principal investigator (PI) representing PoliTo, Dr. Torabi assumes a leadership role within the GREEN-INC project. Her responsibilities encompass defining the comprehensive environmental and socio-economic assessment framework of the effectiveness of Inclusive Climate Actions. Furthermore, she collaborates in the development of digital tools tailored to support the design, implementation, and monitoring of NBS.
