David Dooghe
I am David Dooghe, senior researcher and consultant around space, technology and transitions at TNO Vector. Trained as an architect and urban planner, I focus on the spatial (policy) challenges and incorporation of technologies, and broader transitions, such as the health, energy or mobility transition.
Transitions and linked technologies have a growing space claim, while space in urban regions is scarce. That is why I develop approaches to balance these different space claims, substantiated and future-proof. In this way, I support new opportunities for a balanced integration of these claims on a site. Not surprisingly, I get energy from enhancing liveability in neighbourhoods, cities and the region. I do this by linking my knowledge of space and space policy to other fields within TNO.
Within TNO Vector, I am leader of the impact area value-driven, sustainable cities and regions. By bringing together the expertise of my TNO colleagues, external partners and stakeholders, we can get to the bottom of several transitions within this impact area from a social, economic, spatial and governance perspective and thus arrive at concrete perspectives for action.
