Postdoctoral Researcher, Making Africa Urban
![Matthe Lane MAU](https://www.ucl.ac.uk/urban-lab/sites/urban_lab/files/styles/medium_image/public/m_lane.jpg?itok=_-qbbBao)
His PhD explored the resurgence of master planning as a mode of urban governance across diverse regions of the world. Focusing particularly on the cities of Lusaka, Zambia and Sacramento, USA, his research examined i) how cities are arriving at the decision that they need to adopt new visionary master plans; and ii) how they go about producing these plans, drawing on forms of expertise from a variety of local and global scales.
Prior to joining UCL he was a research fellow at the University of Edinburgh, working on a variety of projects relating to experimentation in urban climate change and sustainability governance. His research has been published in journals including the Annals of the American Association of Geographers, Global Environmental Change and Climatic Change.
