معرفی
Dr Jyoti Shukla serves as Lecturer in Property at the Melbourne School of Design, University of Melbourne, where her research centers on housing economics and land acquisition policy. With extensive international experience across Australia, India, Japan, and the UK, she applies capability theory to develop fair compensation mechanisms for landowners and disaster-affected populations.
Educational background:
- Bachelor of Architecture
- Master of Urban Planning
- Master of Science in Real Estate
- Doctor of Philosophy
Research Focus: Dr Shukla's work bridges theoretical economics and practical policy design, particularly examining how compulsory land acquisition disrupts landowners' 'functionings' (capabilities to achieve valued outcomes). Her current expansion into disaster recovery explores resilient compensation frameworks that address both physical and socioeconomic losses. Key contributions include redefining compensation beyond market value to incorporate hope value, procedural fairness, and caste-based valuation disparities in Indian contexts.
Publication Trends: Recent works (2022-2025) reveal three dominant threads: (1) Australian housing market analysis (build-to-rent investments, rail infrastructure impacts), (2) India-focused housing finance constraints and disaster recovery, and (3) theoretical innovations applying capability approach to land valuation. Her empirical studies consistently integrate mixed methods across BRICS nations, emphasizing policy-relevant solutions for urbanization challenges.
Professional Trajectory: Prior to Melbourne, Dr Shukla was Assistant Professor at RICS School of Built Environment (India) and Urban Planning Assistant Manager for GIFT City development project. Her ongoing projects include 'Functionings of Land' (Scotland case studies), 'Delhi's Changing Built Environment', and BRICS housing paradigms research, reflecting deep engagement with global urban policy dilemmas.
