Finally, Sába works on the project ‘From prevention to resilience (Van preventie naar Veerkracht) on connecting social and ecological neighbourhood resilience.

Sába has a background in architecture and urbanism. She is enthusiastic about bridging research and practice and finding synergies between the social, spatial and climatic challenges in cities. She graduated Cum laude from TU Delft and worked as an architect on heritage transformation and cultural development projects and as an urban planner on the spatial development framework of mobility hubs, university and business campuses, and residential developments.
