Biography

Ellen van Bueren is a professor of Urban Development Management at the Faculty of Architecture and Built Environment. Her research focuses on the management of urban development through an integrated area-specific approach that addresses contemporary urban challenges. This approach emphasizes the need to balance the interests of public and private parties while managing urban environments sustainably. Van Bueren explores how traditional urban development players, such as real estate developers and housing corporations, are challenged by limited resources and responsibilities. Her work addresses the adaptation of urban development in response to society's evolving needs, climate change, and technological innovation. She teaches Master's programs and is involved in research projects aimed at making sustainable urban development practices more effective. Van Bueren is also a board member at the Leiden-Delft-Erasmus Centre for Sustainability, where she investigates how changes are managed across various administrative and spatial levels to coordinate successful urban development.
