School of Built Environment
My academic career, researching and teaching in the built environment disciplines, is grounded in urban planning practice. My research informs and connects the community of scholars, policy makers and practitioners. Its focus is on the relationship between people and place, building understandings about the ways in which places can be planned to best support individuals and diverse communities. This work is facilitated by the use of qualitative research methodologies, of which I was a pioneer in the built environment disciplines in Australia. I have made significant and innovative contributions to teaching practice, curriculum development and the scholarship of learning and teaching in urban planning. I have had a career long involvement with professional development, championing interdisciplinary collaboration in the areas of cultural diversity, community safety and health. Since 2005 I have actively worked at the intersection of planning and public health – across my research, teaching and advocacy activities. My contributions have advanced understandings about the supportive nature of the built environment for health and wellbeing as part of everyday living, contributing to legislative innovation, policy and practice to enhance the strategic relationship between urban planning and health. My service contributions to the Built Environment at UNSW and the planning profession beyond have been sustained and significant. I have received numerous awards for my work, including the prestigious Sidney Luker Medal (2015) in recognition of my contribution to healthy urban planning in Australia. I am one of only three women to receive the award since its inception in 1956.Ìý In 2017 I was awarded the Australian Urban Research Medal.Ìý Ìý
