As civic engineers, being able to understand the linkage between design and social well-being is key to understanding the ways in which infrastructure can shift and change life-habits and everyday life. Additionally, infrastructure can exacerbate or mitigate dynamics already within society, such as equitable access to civic services, social disparities, and environmental health. https://www.alexandriakpoole.com/about daily 0.75 2026-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d66350a8b2b0493e3a0545/1507246918131-EKX8MLF1KIQ176SMYL8H/Poole1.jpg About Photograph Courtesy of Samantha Noll 2016. https://www.alexandriakpoole.com/teaching-1 daily 0.75 2017-10-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d66350a8b2b0493e3a0545/1507247178579-YMMEM0TVF4JL3TTQBRPV/IMG_3972.JPG Education https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d66350a8b2b0493e3a0545/1507283531442-N7JJAEOL973ZWWYDEYEP/class_experience.JPG Education https://www.alexandriakpoole.com/editorial-services daily 0.75 2017-10-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d66350a8b2b0493e3a0545/1507300433625-02ET8ZDLO4J6KLW7IODC/IMG_9669.JPG Editorial Services https://www.alexandriakpoole.com/home daily 1.0 2022-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d66350a8b2b0493e3a0545/1524239704566-PMZ15A50XI3HVPTZUT5E/study-abroad-IMG_4086.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d66350a8b2b0493e3a0545/1507244893389-YM6KEKJQJWBOUA0CO6FB/image-asset.jpeg Home El Perrito.
