Senior Scientist Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Nina SVANDA

Climate-sensitive spatial planning, urban regions, municipal and regional development, tourism development and spatial planning, regional development in emerging countries

Nina Svanda studied spatial planning at TU Wien and worked on national and international municipal/regional development projects in Austria and South America during her employment in a planning office from 1996 to 2004. Since 2004 she has been teaching and researching at the Institute of Spatial Planning at TU Wien. In 2013 she completed her dissertation on "Building Bridges - Bridging International Humanitarian Aid and Development Cooperation: The Contribution of Urban Development Planning". The topics of disasters or crises and how these can be managed/prevented with the support of spatial planning measures permeate her teaching, research and project activities. Her research has led her from natural disasters to armed conflicts and currently to dealing with the climate crisis. Climate-sensitive spatial planning and its implementation at regional and metropolitan level are of particular concern to Nina Svanda.
