Professor Tigran Haas’s research explores how cities are shaped not only by physical form but also by the social, temporal, and psychological dimensions of urban life. Working at the intersection of urban planning and design, architecture, and social science, his interdisciplinary scholarship examines how public space, housing, and urban form affect well-being, inclusion, and spatial justice. He has led and contributed to numerous externally funded research projects addressing key urban challenges, including loneliness, ageing societies, feminist planning, segregation, and placemaking. Haas has developed influential concepts such as temporal urbanism, emergent placemaking, and post-spatial segregation, reframing the city as a living system of time, memory, and human connection. Professor Haas is a former Director of the Ax:son Johnson Foundation’s Centre for the Future of Places hosted at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and former head of the Urban Form and Human Behavior Laboratory. He currently directs the Urban Rural Lab, focusing on urban–rural dynamics, sustainability, spatial justice, and digital innovation, and is affiliated with MIT’s Norman B. Leventhal Center for Advanced Urbanism. With more than 25 years of teaching experience in Sweden and internationally, he has authored and edited over ten books and published more than 125 scholarly works. His key publications include New Urbanism & Beyond (2008), Sustainable Urbanism & Beyond (2012), and the award-winning In the Post-Urban World (2018). Recognised as a leading international voice in contemporary urbanism, Haas has built influential global academic and policy networks advancing critical, human-centred, and future-oriented approaches to city-making.
