Associate Professor at Delft University of Technology
Roberto Rocco is a spatial planner and researcher in planning theory, regional planning, governance and sustainability at the Section of Spatial Planning and Strategy of the Delft University of Technology. His research interests include multi-level networked governance issues in regional planning and the emergence of complex networked city-regions.
A special focus lies on the study of regional mobility and accessibility systems and their impacts on centrality formation at the regional level. Lately, he has been reorienting his work towards studies of metropolitan and regional governance and the sustainability of these governance structures. He is interested in concepts of spatial justice and the right to the city as crucial concepts that allow for a broader definition of planning tasks and for the emergence of new roles for planners in networked governance structures.
