Dr Nobukhosi Ngwenya

Dr Nobukhosi Ngwenya is an urban planner and development practitioner whose research interest focuses on community-led planning, development and transformation of human settlements, particularly informal settlements, in the global South. At EHS, Dr Ngwenya is the Infrastecture Politics Hub Leader, as part of CzASE Studies. Dr Ngwenya’s research examines the (often conflicting) planning logics driving claims as well as the challenges to those claims for land in the urban and peri-urban areas. 

The Infrastructure Hub aims to collaboratively develop and share knowledge that will enable the co-ordinated delivery of resilient, sustainable and inclusive infrastructure in contexts that are characterised by rapid urbanisation and great uncertainty.
