1.Professor/Associate Professor Sustainable Urban Development in the Global South

Programme

Urban Ecological Planning (UEP) http://www.ntnu.edu/studies/msa1, is a practice-based program that enables students to develop skills and knowledge to address complex urban issues in rapidly changing social, cultural, political and environmental contexts of the Global South. The program uses an integrated approach to strategic spatial change, with a specific focus on participatory, inclusive and developmental planning practice. Research in Urban Ecological Planning focuses on four specific aspects of informality in urban areas, namely:

• access to land for the urban poor;

• planning in situations of crisis and uncertainty, such as post-disasters, and conflict;

• participatory processes in planning for excluded and marginalised communities;

• and institutional alternatives for planning in resource scarcity.

The program cooperates closely with the Live Studio initiative of the Faculty of Architecture and Fine Art (http://ntnulivestudio.org/. This is an award winning education initiative of the Faculty where students of architecture and planning work in collaboration with staff to implement projects of strategic spatial nature in Norway and abroad. The UEP program provides the empirical and theoretical basis for this initiative.
