Planning Theory and Practice benefits from the artwork provided by Klaus Kunzmann.

Klaus R. Kunzmann studied architecture and urban planning at the Technische Hochschule München and received his Ph.D. in planning from the Technische Universität Wien, Austria. He was Professor and director of the Institut für Raumplanung (IRPUD) at the School of Planning, Technische Universität Dortmund. He held the Jean Monnet Chair for European Spatial Planning.

Today, his research interests are, on innovative urban policy and European spatial planning, on regional restructuring and slow regional development, on the role of creativity, knowledge and the arts for spatial and endogenous economic development, and, more recently, in the consequences of China’s rapid economic growth for cities and regions in Europe. He has published extensively on these areas, and on the future of the European city region.

Here is a new selection of sketches from his many trips to Nepal.
