My work focuses on how urban planning can contribute to disaster risk reduction. My educational background combines knowledge of town planning (BSc, UniSA, Australia), urban surveys and human settlement analysis (MSc, ITC, Netherlands) and geographical sciences (PhD Utrecht University, Netherlands). Much of my career has been devoted to research, education and capacity building on urban planning in the majority world, with a specific focus on mapping and modelling informal urban development to improve the quality of life of their residents. Since 2010 the focus has broadened to include work on urban planning for disaster risk reduction.
