Dieter Bruggeman

Dieter Bruggeman is a postdoctoral researcher at the Cosmopolis Centre for Urban Research. His research explores the (re)organization of collective services as key processes of urbanization, with a particular focus on non-metropolitan urban contexts such as in Belgium, and energy provisioning. In order to better understand and shape urban dynamics – especially in the context of contemporary sustainability challenges – he examines these processes by tracing their evolution over time and space, and through a socio-spatial lens.

In addition to his research activities, Dieter Bruggeman is involved in the Master's programmes in Urban Design and Spatial Planning (STeR*) and Urban Studies (MUS). He contributes to the design studio, teaches on the history and theory of urban planning, and supervises and evaluates theses. He also has experience as a project collaborator in architectural and urban planning practice.
