Tropical Urban Design Studio - research underway

This week I commenced work with Lisa Law from James Cook University in Cairns to develop a new block course for JCU's Tropical Urban and Regional Planning degree. We will be researching a raft of literature on Tropical Urban Design, as well as having a look at any other centres of tropical expertise in the built environment and seeking to build linkages and co-operation across the tropics. One of the project objectives is to develop a blog or website to assist in information dissemination, so hopefully this blog will be able to assist that process.

Otherwise, the link list grows longer and the updates on new information will continue. The aim of this blog is to become a rich source of information for tropical planners, and to help keep people abreast of new and upcoming research as it comes to light. This will hopefully be done as a combined effort as the blog becomes more useful.
