People and Place

The People and Place research cluster consists of researchers focused on understanding the relationship between people and their environments, with ‘place’ being defined as broad as region and as small as a room. It is a cross-disciplinary group including researchers from a number of different programs with interests and expertise in the fields of urban sociology, environmental psychology, environment-behaviour studies and social planning.

Research outputs from this group have the capacity to:

• contribute to the major BE research priority theme, the Design, Development and Management of the 21st Century City
• support the work of CFRC
• increase and build research activity and capacity in the areas of design practice, planning and planning policy.

The research cluster has members from the following Programs:

• Architecture
• Enabling Environments
• Planning
• Interior Architecture
• Landscape Architecture.

Convener:  Dr Kate Bishop
