William Butler

Associate Professor of Urban and Regional Planning, Florida State University

Associate Professor of Urban and Regional Planning, Florida State University My teaching and research are primarily in the field of collaborative environmental planning and management. I teach courses in environmental planning, food systems planning, collaborative governance, and planning theory. My research explores how to enhance social-ecological resilience of human-natural systems through collaborative governance. In the realm of natural resources, I have focused on how to engage in collaborative planning and management at multiple spatial scales and levels of governance to enhance social-ecological resilience through ecological restoration. Since my arrival in Florida, I have been examining planning responses to climate adaptation in the face of sea level rise. Finally, I seek to identify effective ways to navigate transitions toward more locally oriented food systems and to explore how such systems contribute to community resilience.
