Maria de Lourdes Melo Zurita is part of UNDER, a transdisciplinary project funded by FORMAS that has the overall goal of developing a framework for systematic and structured consideration of geosystem services in Swedish planning practices that can support the transformation to sustainable cities and communities. Specific objectives are to: i) advance the concept of geosystem services by identifying and mapping associated societal values (social, environmental and economic), ii) identify methods to assess societal values and investigate possibilities for integration in existing tools, iii) identify structures of governance and develop a broader and practice-informed understanding of the different societal actors in subsurface planning, and iv) create a participative learning environment, extended beyond the project implementation period leading to transformative processes in planning practice.
