Stan Majoor
Professor by Special Appointment on Local Planning Professionals
Governance
I study the practices and challenges of urban planners working on the level of cities and neighborhoods in settings full of complex planning tasks, contradictory forces and conflicts.
Contemporary spatial planning at a local level requires connectivity between a divergence of actors and knowledge on a variety of topics like housing, urban design, transportation, greening, energy transition and social wellbeing and livability.
The professorship is particularly focused on the up-close investigation of practices of professionals aiming to realize innovative local level solutions and reflects on the positions, roles, types of knowledge, strategies, conflicts and ethical dilemmas they encounter.
