Dr Clare Mouat BA, BComm, MA(Hons), PhD

Senior Lecturer - Resource & Environmental Planning

Doctoral Supervisor
School of People, Environment and Planning

My work champions growing and greening democracy by rethinking community and regenerative governance. My portfolio explores innovation and infrastructures of care, repair, and flourishing futures, and influences law, and policy in multiple jurisdictions. As a scholar-storyteller for just, care-full, healthy and inclusive cities and places, I am passionate about co-producing feasible and radically-progressive responses to the local and global challenges and crises facing us, our families, and eight billion of our closest neighbours. To me, this means understanding the ethics, politics, plans, roadblocks and the various strategies and roadmaps towards the places where we want to live, work, and play.
