Kort om
Claudia van der Laag (formerly Yamu) is an architect and urban planner. She is an expert on transport land use planning including people's behaviour in cities applying a wide-range of analytical techniques including method and tool development at the forefront of virtual modelling. As a former project consultant she excels in combining the theoretical innovations with practice-oriented solutions and has been involved in numerous international projects. Claudia was awarded the prestigious Michael Breheny Prize in 2015 for her work on multiscale, multifractal urban planning models. She is an editorial board member for Springer’s The Urban Book Series and has been a reviewer for national research funding agencies in Europe and the Middle East. She holds a PhD in Architecture from TU Wien connecting architecture, urban planning and computer science and a PhD in Geography and Regional Planning in complexity-based modelling from Université de Franche-Comté. She dedicates her work to the development of sustainable cities and regions.
Expertise: urban informatics, space syntax, geometric fractal models, digital twins, mixed methods, transport land use planning, socio-economic processes, people's behaviour in cities, decision support, civic engagement.
Topics: sustainable cities, walkable cities, smart cities, fractal cities, urban morphogenesis, urban policies
