Timau a rolau for Matthew Wargent
Darlithydd mewn Cynllunio a Datblygu Trefol
Trosolwyg
Rwy'n wyddonydd cymdeithasol sy'n arbenigo mewn cynllunio, datblygu a llywodraethu dinasoedd, gyda ffocws penodol ar wleidyddiaeth datblygu cymunedol a chyfranogiad y cyhoedd wrth lunio mannau trefol. Mae fy ymchwil yn archwilio rôl esblygol arbenigedd mewn cynllunio, gan gynnwys addasu gwybodaeth drefol, a dylanwad cynyddol technolegau digidol ar wneud penderfyniadau a llywodraethu.
Mae fy mhrosiect ymchwil diweddaraf, Just Neighbourhoods?, yn archwilio cyfiawnder cymdeithasol ac amgylcheddol mewn cymdogaethau sydd heb gynrychiolaeth ddigonol ar draws pedair gwlad y DU. Mae papurau diweddar o brosiectau eraill yn cynnwys:
- Archwiliad o ddylanwad hanesyddol arbenigedd y sector preifat mewn cynllunio trefol a llywodraethu (papur ar y rhestr fer, Gwobr Safbwyntiau Cynllunio 2024)
- Effaith cynllunio dan arweiniad y gymuned ar adeiladu tai yn y DU (wedi'i ariannu gan MHCLG)
- Degawd o ddatblygu polisi cynllunio cymdogaeth yn Lloegr (papur cymeradwy, AESOP Gwobr Papur Cyhoeddedig Gorau 2024)
- Dadansoddiad Pwylaidd o reoleiddio marchnadoedd tir datblygu
- Traethodau ar gyfiawnder epistemig a thrawsnewid gofod stryd
Mae gen i ddiddordeb arbennig mewn theori trefol a chynllunio ac rwy'n ceisio dangos perthnasedd theori yn fy addysgu ac ymchwil. Bydd casgliad golygedig newydd ar theori cynllunio yn cael ei gyhoeddi gan Routledge yn 2025, wedi'i gyd-olygu â chydweithwyr yn UCL a Phrifysgol Llundain.
Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n gwasanaethu fel Golygydd Adolygu Llyfrau ar gyfer Adolygiad Cynllunio Tref ac yn croesawu ymholiadau am deitlau sydd ar ddod i'w hadolygu. Ymunais â'r Ysgol Daearyddiaeth a Chynllunio ym mis Hydref 2021. Cyn hyn, cynhaliais Gymrodoriaeth Ôl-ddoethurol yr Academi Brydeinig ym Mhrifysgol Reading ac roeddwn yn Gymrawd Ymchwil yn Ysgol Gynllunio Bartlett, UCL. Cwblheais fy PhD ym Mhrifysgol Sheffield yn 2017 a ariannwyd gan yr ESRC. Rwy'n Gymrawd Advance HE (FHEA) ac yn Aelod Cyswllt o'r RTPI (AssocRTPI).
