Emmanuel Made Yacim, M.Sc.
Profile
I am a lecturer and researcher in the International Planning Studies (IPS) group. I am drawn to how cities function through repair, maintenance, and informal service provision, particularly in contexts where formal planning and infrastructure systems are limited or absent. I focus on the everyday practices through which urban denizens and intermediaries sustain urban life and how these practices reshape governance arrangements and spatial configurations. In a nutshell, my research engages with questions of urban informality, hybrid governance, and politics of infrastructure, with particular attention to cities of the Global South.
