Why Is Kim Dovey Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Kim Dovey is an Australian architectural and urban critic and Professor of Architecture and Urban Design at the University of Melbourne, Australia, teaching and researching urban design. Born in Western Australia he received degrees from Curtin University and the University of Melbourne, and a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, USA. He has lectured and broadcast widely on social issues in architecture and urban design. His book Framing Places explores theories of place as mediators of power, incorporating case studies of politics of public space, housing, shopping malls and corporate towers. Becoming Places explores the formation of place identity and develops a theory of place as dynamic assemblage. Urban Design Thinking is a broad-ranging application of assemblage thinking in urban design. Mapping Urbanities demonstrates applied research using urban mapping in the production of spatial knowledge. He has made significant contributions to theories of place, transit-oriented development, urban density, walkability, informal settlement and creative clusters. He is author of the Urban DMA theory of walkability. He is Co-Director of InfUr- the Informal Urbanism Research Hub at the University of Melbourne where he leads research on informal settlement and street vending.
