Job Details

In the context of the JPI Urban Europe's project Smart-U-Green, funded by the ERA-NET Cofund Smart Urban Futures call (http://jpi-urbaneurope.eu/calls/ensuf-call/), the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne is opening a post-doctoral position in Sustainable Urban Planning addressing the following topic:


Smart governance strategies for the urban rural continuum, in European urban regions.

The project

Urban landscapes witness major transformations that come with manifold conflicts involving different panels of actors. The project aims at determining new forms to address the reconfiguration of the rural-urban continuum —in the wake of transition to sustainability— in urban regions of the Netherlands, Italy, and France, together with local governments, local businesses, citizen initiatives and NGOs

This position will focus on developing a participatory integrated assessment method to explore governance options for the greening of urban landscapes, in association with policymakers, NGOs, experts and innovative citizen initiatives. He will use as an input the results from other project's WPs, especially those concerning the various conflicting stakeholder perspectives on urban landscape quality, and the recent planning controversies on urban environment treatment.

Besides, he will produce and disseminate output relevant for society at large, including an online forum, which will generate feed-back for the dialogue.
