Scott Geoffrey Hawken

Dr. Scott Hawken is a lecturer in the Australian Graduate School of Urbanism, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia.

An urban designer, landscape architect and landscape archaeologist, Scott Hawken focuses his expertise in three thematic areas: Smart Cities (Planning and Design), Asian Urbanism, and Ecological Networks and Biophilic Cities.

His work uses a synergistic approach using advanced geospatial technologies and innovative fieldwork approaches within the Asia-Pacific region. He leads the Urban Water Resilience and Sponge Cities Lab which seeks to develop current approaches to blue infrastructure in cities. As a landscape archeologist, he explores issues of socio-ecological resilience over long time frames. Archaeological case studies also highlight the inertia and legacy of massive urban infrastructures.
