Academic Profile
Agatino Rizzo (里佐), Ph.D., is a tenured, associate professor in urban planning and design at LTU. Since 2005, he has worked as a researcher, visiting fellow, and then lecturer in urban planning and design in Europe and Asia. Agatino works at the intersection of planning, design, and geography in contexts as different as the Arctic (mostly northern Scandinavia), Europe (Sweden, Italy and Malta), and Asia (Malaysia, Singapore, Qatar and the UAE). His main interests are the study of the resource-urbanization nexus and development of a vision to transition to sustainable urbanization. Cross-cutting themes are resilience, climate, landscape, heritage, energy, and knowledge production. His original theoretical production includes novel concepts such as the intra-rural divides; transdisciplinary urbanism; knowledge megaprojects; predatory urbanism; and green resilience.
