Nils Björling is a researcher at Chalmers University, specializing in Urban Design and Planning within the field of Civil Engineering. His work focuses on developing theories and methods that enhance the interaction between local and regional planning. His objective is to support design practices in urban planning to better manage the challenges posed by uneven geographical development and the diverse resources involved in the planning process. Nils defended his doctoral thesis in 2016, titled 'Fragile Urban Landscapes: Planning Methods for Open Spatial Lock-ins in Urbanisation.' This thesis introduced conceptual tools such as fragile urban landscape and urban ecologies to aid design practices in formulating alternative strategies for transformation while identifying mechanisms that bridge the gap between planning and implementation. Nils’s work is characterized by close collaboration with local and regional planning practices to ensure the sustainable development of urban environments.
