Profile
Prof.Dr. Tuna Tasan-Kok (www.tunatasankok.eu)
Biography
I am Professor of Urban Governance and Planning at the UvA Faculty of Social and Behavioral Sciences, and Research Group Leader of the Urban Planning Group at Department of Geography, Planning, and International Development Studies at UvA. I chair UGoveRN (Urban Governance Research Network), which is a research platform I founded within the framework of the Urban Planning Group at UvA. I am also the Chair of IJURR Foundation, which provides scholarships to Ph.D. researchers with the surplus generated by the International Journal of Urban and Regional Research.
I am an urban social geographer and planner. I graduated from the Department of City and Regional Planning at Dokuz Eylul University of Izmir cum laude. I completed a M.Sc. in Regional Planning at the Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey 1996. Being awarded by Turkish, Polish, and Hungarian scientific funds, I worked as a research fellow at the Polish and Hungarian Academy of Sciences until 2000. I received a PhD in Social Geography on the topic of 'Budapest, Istanbul, and Warsaw: Institutional and Spatial Change' from the University of Utrecht, the Netherlands, under the supervision of Prof.Dr. Jan van Weesep in 2004. During my PhD, I was awarded a FURS (Foundation for Urban and Regional Research) Grant and a SYLFF (The Ryoichi Sasakawa Young Leaders Fellowship Fund) Grant. Subsequently, I took up researcher and lectureship positions at the Universities of Leuven (2005-2007), TU Delft, OTB Research for the Built Environment (2007-2015), and University College Roosevelt (2011-2014), before taking up my current position in the Department of Human Geography, Urban Planning and International Development at the UvA in September 2015.

Research
Research
My research focuses on regulation of urban development and change from different angles, on themes of urban governance, property-led urban development dynamics, and spatial organisation through social relations. I'm specifically interested in involvement of diverse actors and regulation of their interests in specific projects, processes and developments in cities. I have initiated, coordinated, and implemented several internationally and locally funded research projects and have attracted significant research funding including a prestigious multi-million EU grant (FP7 project DIVERCITIES), for which she was one of the scientific co-coordinators. My current research funding is approaching €8 million, of which more than € 1.8 million is directly generated for the academic organisations I worked for. I am currently the scientific coordinator of a ORA (Open Research Area for the Social Sciences) funded research project (WHIG), which is on residential investment landscapes and the governance and regulation of housing productionAs a consortium lead by Prof.Dr. Mike Raco (UCL) with the contribution of myself and Prof.Dr.Patrick Le Gales (Sciences Po, Paris) we will explore the complex governance landscapes created by property investment markets in Amsterdam, London and Paris for the next 3 years. Recently I completed a jointly funded (NWO-ESRC-FAPESP) research project (PARCOUR) as the scientific co-coordinator. PARCOUR (Public Accountability to Residents in Contractual Urban Redevelopment) focuses on the extent to which, and how, governance forms, associated with the use of contractual approaches in regeneration projects dealing with previously developed land, impact on inequalities and the implications for sustainable urban development. We argue that public accountability may decline where regulatory arrangements involve the private sector as a facilitator of the regeneration of previously developed urban land. This may undermine the authority of public agencies and residents’ interests and thus affect sustainable urban development negatively. DIVERCITIES (Governing Urban Diversity: Creating social cohesion, social mobility and economic performance in today’s hyperdiversified cities) project, which is funded by European Commission in 2013 (see: http://www.urbandivercities.eu/) is examining the relationships between urban policy and diversity in European cities. The principal aim of this project is to provide evidence for the range of social and socio- outcomes that may emerge from greater urban diversity, particularly its positive aspects, and to document and highlight the significant role that urban policy and local governance arrangements can play in developing and stimulating those positive outcomes. My research within DIVERCITIES project focuses on the case of Toronto. Other recent project, Sustainable Land Use Policies for Resilient Cities (SUPER-CITIES), financed by Urban-Net (European funds, national NICIS organisation) has examined the adaptive governance system in the Netherlands, Sweden, Turkey and Portugal.
