Bio

Nabil Kamel joined the School of Planning at ASU in 2005. He worked at several major research centers at UCLA where he received his Ph.D., such as the North American Integration and Development Center, the Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies, and the UCLA Anderson Forecast. His research explores the relationship between the built environment and institutional structures in cities. While his research covers a wide range of topics, the driving logic defining his work is to reveal the forces and dynamics behind the historical reproduction of social and material inequalities in cities. His courses at ASU address Urbanization Theories, the Evolution of Urban Form, Urban Design Practicum, and Advanced Planning Studio.
