About the Author: Prof. Joerg Baumeister was the previous Director of the Australian Urban Design Research Centre, UWA, and has attracted more than $2 M in industry grants in the last three years for multi-disciplinary projects with government institutions in WA, e.g. about "Perth Water" and "Shoreline development" which have been published in books, government reports and journal articles.
Prof. Paul Burton has a long-standing interest in the theory and practice of public policy-making, with a special interest in planning and urban policy. He is currently exploring the emergence of a national urban policy in Australia and the translation of urban policy ideas from elsewhere - such as the UK's City Deals approach - to Australian settings.
Dr. Edoardo Bertone is a Researcher with a civil engineering background and a current focus on data-driven modelling, Bayesian Network and System Dynamics modelling applied to the water resources management, water-energy nexus, environmental health and climate change adaptation fields.
