About
Dr. Peggy Chi is a licensed landscape architect whose work focuses on research, knowledge mobilization, and use of evidence to inform the design and decision-making of aging environments.
She completed a multiphase mixed-method investigation in 83 long-term care home areas to help improve older adults’ quality of life and healthcare workers’ quality of work-life. Evidence derived from this study serves to inform ongoing and upcoming redevelopments and new constructions of long-term care settings. This work was generously supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council and Landscape Architecture Canada Foundation.
Dr. Chi continues her work as a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Health Policy, Management, and Evaluation at the University of Toronto by integrating methodologies from landscape, architecture, health services research, dementia care mapping, and organization management to transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries in research and practice.
