CV Summary
Ph.D. Candidate Vladyslav Tyminskyi is a researcher, lecturer, and consultant on strategic planning and integrated urban development, whose mission is to promote expert knowledge about Ukraine internationally. His profile is shaped at the intersection of interdisciplinary policy research, experiential urban pedagogy, and post-structuralist theory of architecture and planning.
Vladyslav’s doctoral project at the University of Stuttgart (Chair of International Urbanism) (started in 2018) is focused on the processes, actors, and practices of the mobilization, assembling, and adaptation of an integrated urban development policy in Ukraine through German-funded technical assistance programmes of the 2010s. Preliminary results of the research have been widely presented on various international scholarly platforms, including publications in peer-reviewed journals and contributions to academic events at UCL (the UK), ETH Zürich (Switzerland), and TU Delft (the Netherlands), among others.
Since 2022, Vladyslav is a guest researcher on the policies of trans-institutional collaboration in the field of urban pedagogy at the Architecture Philosophy and Theory (APT) academic group (Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, TU Delft). Furthermore, he is an editorial board member of Planning Practice & Research (PPR), a peer-reviewed journal committed to bridging the gaps between planning research, practice, and education, and between different planning systems.
Vladyslav’s research and teaching activities are informed by the practice of spatial planning and urban development. Specifically, between 2016 and 2022, he worked for two Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) projects in Ukraine — ‘Integrated Urban Development I and II’ and ‘National Urban Development Policy (NUDP)’ — as an external consultant on strategic (spatial) planning and urban management.
