Profile
Bio-sketch
Jochem de Vries has been the department chair since 2019 and associate professor of urban and regional planning at the Department of Geography, Planning and International Development Studies at the University of Amsterdam. He also acted as the director of the Geography and Planning Bachelors and Masters' programmes within the department (2012-2017)
He graduated in planning from the University of Amsterdam and received his PhD from the same institution. After graduating and returning to the UvA, he worked at the Delft University of Technology, the University of Groningen, and the Netherlands Institute for Spatial Research ( Ruimtelijk Planbureau (RPB)).
Research and teaching interests
The overarching theme of his research in recent years is how culture and institutions structure urban and regional planning. One of the strands explores relevant conditions from an international perspective. Another strand of research is focused on the complicated relationship between European and national environmental legislation on the one hand and local and regional planning projects on the other hand. This has led to work on the contextualisation of laws and planning practice. The third strand of research concerns the shift from 'government to governance' in managing cultural heritage and landscapes and urban planning.
