Academic career |
I am an urban planner with a focus on urban resilience. I am interested in operationalizing the multifaceted concept of urban and community resilience as well as understanding factors that contribute to resilience and needed interventions to build and sustain it. I am also interested in concepts and methods of transformational capacities of urban governance and planning systems to the challenges posed to local governments by urbanization and migration dynamics. |
