Jochen Monstadt is a Professor of Governance of Urban Dynamics and Transitions and holds the Chair of Spatial Planning in the Department of Human Geography and Spatial Planning at Utrecht 木瓜福利影视. His research and teaching focus on the place-based transformation of cities and the role of technical infrastructures鈥攕uch as energy, water, wastewater, solid waste, transportation, and ICT鈥攊n shaping urban sustainability in both the global North and South. I am particularly interested in the urban governance and planning of these socio-technical systems, exploring topics such as sustainability transitions, urban resilience, hybrid infrastructure regimes, and the 鈥渋nfrastructure turn鈥� in urban studies. My work spans comparative empirical studies (e.g., Berlin, Los Angeles, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Dar es Salaam, Nairobi, Cape Town) and theoretical contributions that critically analyze how urban infrastructures are governed, contested, and transformed.

Jochen brings extensive international experience, having worked at research institutes and universities in Germany, Switzerland, Canada, the USA, France and the Netherlands. Prior to joining Utrecht in November 2016, he was a Professor of Spatial and Infrastructure Planning and Director of the Graduate School of Urban Studies at Darmstadt 木瓜福利影视 of Technology, Germany (2009鈥�2016). He has a strong track record in collaborative research and leadership of interdisciplinary initiatives, serving as PI or co-investigator on projects funded by organizations such as the Dutch Research Council, German Research Foundation, European Commission, and Canadian Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council. At Utrecht, he led the university-wide research hub 鈥淭ransforming Infrastructures for Sustainable Cities鈥� (2017鈥�2022), exploring pathways to urban sustainability through the lens of technical infrastructures.

From 2020 to 2023, Jochen was a visiting professor at the , Universit茅 Gustave Eiffel, Paris, as part of the 鈥溾�� program. His ongoing projects include research on the governance of critical infrastructures (co-investigator of a PhD program at TU Darmstadt) and urban transitions in East and South Africa (PI of two NWO-funded consortia with African partners). Since 2025, Jochen has served as Vice President of the in the Leibniz Association (ARL).
