Raneem Anwar is a neurolandscaper and urban researcher whose work bridges urban design, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence to advance conscious and healing cities, aligned with the Centre for Conscious Design’s Designing for Life framework.
As a Senior Researcher at the Smart and Future Cities Laboratory, she investigates AI-driven urban resilience, digital twins, and human–environment interaction through data-informed design. Her doctoral research at Ain Shams University explores how neurolandscape and environmental psychology can inform the planning of restorative urban spaces that enhance human well-being and cognitive balance—directly supporting Designing for Life themes of well-being, equity, and sustainability.
Raneem has contributed to pioneering initiatives such as the Cairo Charter, which reimagines the human–city relationship through equitable, empathetic urbanism, and the Urban AI MOOC, promoting inclusive AI applications. She also leads and teaches workshops on computational design, immersive realities, and digital fabrication, emphasizing the integration of technology, nature, and consciousness via Conscious Design Principles like human-centered design, design for transitions, and prioritizing biodiversity.
Her current projects focus on developing evidence-based design models for sustainable campuses, EEG-based environmental perception studies, and AI-assisted design for thermal comfort and walkability optimization—all aimed at re-humanizing cities and fostering ecological health.
