Professor Peter Madden

OBE

Overview

I'm Professor of Practice in Future Cities, helping to engage with businesses and city administrations to stimulate collaborative work and maximise research impact.

My teaching, research, and practice focuses on innovating for the city of the future, understanding why urban life is changing and how citizens and business can thrive in a hyper-connected, increasingly urban, and resource-constrained world. I have helped dozens of leading businesses and city administrations navigate the future to create more sustainable, vibrant, places.

I have held senior roles in government, not-for-profits, and the private sector, and worked with cities across the world. I am now using my practical experience, my international networks and my understanding of what stakeholders want from academia, to help to promote the practical application of scholarship for the benefit of industry, government and society.

I work part-time in the University alongside my other roles.
