GURU Timeline

This Timeline celebrates 25 years of research and scholarship in the Global Urban Research Unit (GURU). Building on previous research strengths in the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape (APL) at Newcastle University, GURU was founded under a different name in 1993.

Today, GURU, through collaboration with other research centres from across the University and beyond, is internationally recognised for its theoretical contributions to planning, governance and urban studies, and its engagement with public policy, community development and professional practices. Over the past 25 years, it has consistently promoted academic excellence and creativity to enable progressive urban policy and practice. Since 1993, GURU members have supervised about 400 international Doctoral students who have contributed significantly to the Centre’s vibrant research environment.

Current research focuses on five distinct but interrelated themes: • People, Place & Politics • Infrastructure & Digital Technologies • Identity, Culture & Heritage • Urban Design & Human Flourishing • Environmental Planning & Management Year by year, the Timeline showcases selected examples of our research projects funded by a wide range of local, national and international organisations - and publications, some of which have been highly influential in shaping the debate in the field. It highlights some of GURU’s key achievements and contributions to academic and practice communities, indicating a long standing determination to generate lasting and visible impacts.

The Timeline is the product of our collective efforts and especially the generous time and support given by Loes Veldpaus, Ruth Raynor, Jennifer Manuel and Sarah Delap.

School of Architecture Planning & Landscape

1993

GURU’s predecessor, the Centre for Research in European Urban Environment (CREUE) was formally approved by the University, with Patsy Healey as its founding Director.

Patsy joined Newcastle University in 1989 as the Head of Department of Town and Country Planning.

The centre was launched following a keynote lecture by Professor David Harvey of Johns Hopkins University.

CREUE worked in collaboration with the Centre for Architectural Research and Development Overseas (CARDO) that had existed since 1971 and was formally established in 1985 in the Department of Architecture with two key members: Graham Tipple and Peter Kellett.

Richard Williams completed his term of office as the third Secretary General of the Association of European Schools of Planning (AESOP).

1993 saw the flourishing of the Journal of Environmental Planning & Management that was established by John Benson and Ken Willis in 1992 and replaced Planning Outlook, published since 1948.

The 6th Thomas Sharp Lecture was presented

by John Bridge.
