Assistant Professor | University of Salford
Dr. Andy Jenkins is an Assistant Professor at the University of Salford. His background is in architecture, sustainable development, urban agriculture, and the circular built environment.
Andy develops holistic solutions to the growing number of challenges that cities face due to linear economies, growing populations, resource scarcity, and the climate crisis. Typically, this manifests as carefully considered design interventions focusing on resource synergies, circular material flows, and the interconnectedness of food, water, and energy.
His key aim is to make cities healthier, happier, and more engaging places to live and work through design solutions that embed blue and green infrastructure, circular principles, regenerative design, and social impact.
His key contributions to research include the Cityzen Roadshow, which co-created zero-carbon neighbourhoods across Europe, and the Sky High project, which explored the integration of vertical farms in buildings and cities from an architectural and resource synergy perspective.
