Professor Kim Dovey is Chair of Architecture and Urban Design at the University of Melbourne's Melbourne School of Design, directing the Informal Urbanism Research Hub (InfUr). His work focuses on urban design theory, informal settlements, functional mix, and transit-oriented development. He holds a PhD from UC Berkeley and has authored influential books like *Framing Places* (2008), *Fluid City* (2005), and *Urban Design Thinking* (2016).
Research interests include urban assemblages, creative clustering, and the morphological capacities of cities. He co-edited *Mapping Urbanities* (2017), exploring urban mapping methodologies. His recent work addresses temporary urbanism, informal settlement dynamics, and walkability metrics.
Publications span over 50 peer-reviewed articles, with topics ranging from streetlife rhythms to transit-oriented intensification. He collaborates globally on urban policy and design projects, emphasizing morphological analysis and participatory methodologies. Key contributions include frameworks for understanding 'inventraset' assemblages and critical rethinking of informal urbanism beyond 'slum' narratives.
