Synopsis

In light of rapid urbanisation and the accelerating threats of climate change, scale and multitude are what set the Global North and South apart. Yet, as this course exposes, the issues faced by urban areas have resembling themes and characteristics, regardless of economic status or geographic location. Therefore, in the context of sustainable urban development, the binary dichotomy of the terms ‘Global North’ and ‘Global South’ must be contested. While a focus on Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia, and the MENA region, Rethink the City attempts to understand the transboundary nature of urban issues and provide a platform to gather insights beyond borders. It is only by learning from other narratives that we can collectively address the complex challenges ahead.

Anja van der Watt (ed), Department of Architecture, Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands

Anja is an interdisciplinary urban researcher and communicator, holding an MSc in architecture from TU Delft. Her focus is sustainable urban development across contexts of the Global South, with a particular interest in climate justice and the potential of the circular economy in creating inclusive and resilient communities. Her work combines strategy, research and the development of digital educational materials. In addition to moderating the self-paced Rethink the City course, she is an independent consultant, working for international organizations such the Habitat for Humanity’s Terwilliger Center for Innovation in Shelter (TCIS), the Urban Development Technical Facility (UDTF) at Directorate General of International Partnerships (DG INTPA - European Commission) and the International Centre for Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM).

Luz María Vergara (ed), School of Architecture, Faculty of Architecture, Art and Design, Diego Portales University, Chile

Luz María is an Associate Professor at Facultad de Arquitectura, Arte y Diseño, Universidad Diego Portales. She is an architect and holds a MSc in Architecture from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. She obtained a PhD in housing management from Delft University of Technology, where she also developed and coordinated the Rethink the City MOOC, among other initiatives in blended education. Luz María´s research interests are related to housing challenges in the Global South with special attention to the role of civil society organisations in the context of social vulnerability. She is interested in understanding how societal requirements can be incorporated into housing and urban design processes and management through participatory and collaborative methods.

Igor Tempels Moreno Pessoa (ed), Department of Technology, Human and Institutional Behaviour, Faculty of Behavioural, Management and Social Sciences, University of Twente, The Netherlands

Igor is an Assistant Professor in Local Governance of the Public Administration section in the Faculty of Behavioural, Management & Social Sciences at the University of Twente. He obtained my PhD from the Delft University of Technology, where I became a Comenius Teaching Fellow and had the opportunity to develop innovative educational approaches related to online and hybrid education. Prior to starting at the University of Twente, he worked as a research coordinator in the Centre for Urban Studies of the University of Amsterdam.

Caroline Newton (ed), Department of Urbanism, Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands

Caroline is an urban planner, an architect, and a political scientist. Her work and research focus on the social and political dimensions of design.  Caroline’s research interests encompass the complexity of architecture and planning in post-colonial contexts, intersectionality in/for design and planning, participatory planning and designerly approaches to knowledge production. Caroline advocates for revitalized urban professional participation and the reintroduction of advocacy to the forefront of planning and spatial practices. She advances a critical and involved approach to strategic planning, presenting planning techniques as acts of resistance, as enablers of alternative spatial possibilities and imaginations.
