Leo van den Burg
Leo van den Burg serves as section leader of Urban Design and Faculty coordinator of bachelor's education at TU Delft's Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment. After graduating with honors from TU Delft in 1997, he has established himself as a key figure in advancing the 'Delft Approach' to urbanism, which emphasizes contextual and multi-scalar design thinking. His work spans teaching, research, and curation, including the development of a successful MOOC on Dutch Urbanism that has reached over 10,000 participants. As coordinator of the bachelor's design track, he oversees courses introducing urbanism to more than 400 students annually. His research focuses on typo-morphological analysis, Dutch city development, and the intersection of urbanism and architecture. He has contributed significantly to exhibitions and publications on Dutch urban design practice, with articles appearing in OverHolland magazine and KNOB bulletin. His teaching philosophy emphasizes an experimental approach that integrates research and design activities, particularly through blended learning methodologies that combine methodical exercises with intuitive design exploration.
Birgit Hausleitner
Birgit Hausleitner serves as a Lecturer of Urban Design at TU Delft's Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, bringing a diverse educational background from TU Vienna, Politecnico di Milano, and IUAV Venice. After working as an architect in Vienna, she joined TU Delft in 2011, where she coordinates urbanism theory and research design studio courses in the MSc urbanism and advanced MSc of European Urbanism programs. Her research focuses on urban morphology, multi-scalar spatial analysis, and the development of configurational typologies for comparing urban performance. She led the TU Delft team in the JPI Cities of Making project, examining spatial-morphological conditions for manufacturing in European cities, and currently heads the 'Liveable Manufacturing' project in Amsterdam. Her expertise spans urban spatial conditions for work activities, mixed-use development, and pattern languages as co-creation instruments. Through her work, she emphasizes the importance of systemic and place-based understanding in addressing urban complexity, particularly focusing on how the built environment can adapt to changing socio-economic processes in the transition toward circular societies
Maarten van Ham
Maarten van Ham serves as Professor of Urban Geography and head of both the Urban Studies Research Group and Department of Urbanism at Delft University of Technology, while simultaneously holding a professorship at the University of St Andrews. His academic journey began at Utrecht University, where he earned his PhD with honors in 2002, followed by positions at the University of Amsterdam, Utrecht University, and the Max Planck Institute in Berlin. In 2006, he became Director of the Centre for Housing Research at the University of St Andrews, before taking on his current dual professorship roles in 2011. His research focuses on critical urban issues including socio-economic segregation, neighborhood effects, and urban inequalities. A highly influential scholar with over 110 published academic papers and 10 edited books, van Ham has made significant contributions to understanding global urban dynamics. His recent work includes the groundbreaking open-access book "Urban Socio-economic Segregation and Income Inequality: A Global Perspective," which examines segregation trends across 24 major urban regions worldwide. His research has revealed that rising inequalities lead to increased socio-economic segregation globally, with particularly concerning trends in high-income countries where segregation growth is accelerating. As Vice Dean of Architecture at TU Delft and a Research Fellow at IZA, van Ham continues to shape our understanding of urban dynamics, residential mobility, and neighborhood effects through his research and leadership.
Igor Pessoa
Igor Tempels Moreno Pessoa has built an accomplished career in urban governance and participatory planning, currently serving as an Assistant Professor in Urban Governance at the University of Twente's Faculty of Behavioural, Management & Social Sciences. His academic journey includes roles as a Postdoctoral Researcher at TU Delft's Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment from June 2019 to January 2021, and current work at the Centre for Urban Studies at UvA. With a background as an Architect and Urban Planner from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Pessoa brings expertise in participatory planning, design practices, and urban resilience. He helped establish the Global Urban Lab at TU Delft, a collaborative initiative focusing on urban challenges in emerging economies. His research emphasizes practical applications of resilience concepts and community empowerment in urban planning. Pessoa's work spans various areas including city planning, urban development, sustainable development, and geopolitics, with a particular focus on transforming theoretical concepts into implementable practices. His multidisciplinary approach combines traditional design-oriented solutions with experimental strategies to address complex urban challenges.
Rūta Ubarevičienė
Rūta Ubarevičienė stands out as a senior researcher with dual expertise in urban geography and sociology, having earned two PhD degrees: one from Delft University of Technology in 2017 and another from the Lithuanian Social Research Centre in 2018. She currently holds positions at both the Urban Studies Research Group at TU Delft and the Institute of Sociology at the Lithuanian Centre for Social Sciences. Her research focuses on critical social issues including spatial inequality, social segregation, population decline, and migration patterns, particularly in the Baltic States. As co-editor of the groundbreaking book "Urban Socio-Economic Segregation and Income Inequality: A Global Perspective," she coordinated 25 research teams comprising 55 researchers worldwide to examine the relationship between income inequality and residential segregation across 24 major urban regions spanning six continents. The book reveals significant findings about global urban trends, showing that rising inequalities lead to increased socio-economic segregation worldwide, with particularly rapid growth in high-income countries. Her collaborative research extends across multiple European countries, including Lithuania, the Netherlands, Germany, and Estonia, contributing to our understanding of urban social dynamics and demographic changes. Her academic background includes an MSc in Geography and Landscape from Vilnius University, complementing her extensive research experience in urban and regional development.
