Autor

Ashok Kumar is a professor of physical planning at the School of Planning and Architecture, New Delhi, India. Trained as a human geographer and spatial planner, he believes in planning that aims at reducing spatial injustices, a task that is not well accomplished without comprehending and linking planning with broader political and economic processes. For him, collaborative planning remains at the core of planners' efforts, where plans are participatory and pragmatic. Ashok lives and works in Delhi. He has studied in India and the UK. His most recent edited books include (with D.S. Meshram and Krishne Gowda) Urban and Regional Planning Education - Learning for India (Springer, 2016) and (with Poonam Prakash) Public Participation in Planning in India (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2016).
