Programme
Keynote Speakers
I am currently a postdoctoral research fellow at School of Natural and Built Environment of Queen’s University Belfast, UK. Since the start of this research in September 2019, I have been working on “The role of age and gender in designing sustainable city centres – A comparative study of different-scale cities: Tehran and Belfast”. With a focus on design-based researches, I have been working in academia as well as in practice (industry) in various fields including the Landscape Urbanism, Urban Design, Urban Planning, Architecture and Graphic Design. In my research background, particularly since my PhD research, I have also been investigating the role of human-nature relationship in achieving socio-culturally sustainable cities. My PhD thesis (2011-2016) at School of Architecture and Built Environment of University of Westminster in London has mainly investigated “The Relationship between Human Beings and Nature in an Urban Context: Tehran and the Natural structures of Seven River-Valleys – A design and Planning case study”. In short, my research is mainly comprised of inclusive cities and city centres, age and gender indicators in city design, the role of human-nature relationship in design and planning, and integration of socio-cultural and environmental sustainability.
