Paul Rabé is a political scientist by training, with a doctoral degree in policy, planning and development from the University of Southern California’s Sol Price School of Public Policy (2009). At IHS, he works as senior specialist in land governance and he is advisor and coordinator of the Urban Environment, Sustainability and Climate Change master track. In addition, Paul is academic coordinator of the cities cluster at the International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS) at Leiden University and, in that capacity, he coordinates the Urban Knowledge Network Asia and the River Cities Network, and he is series editor of the book series “Asian Cities”, published by Amsterdam University Press.
Paul Rabé has over 30 years of experience in advisory work, capacity building and research in urban land governance topics related to land management, integrated land and water management, and access to land. He has worked on advisory and institutional development projects in Africa, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and the Balkans, on a range of land instruments and policies related to access to land, land value capture for public goods, urban and peri-urban environmental sustainability, land markets, planning, and poverty reduction. His current work and research focus on the intersection of land policy and the management of water bodies and water resources for sustainable development in urban and peri-urban areas. This “land-water-human nexus” has been the subject of several short courses that Paul has organized with various partner organizations, including cities and central government agencies, in Southeast Asia. It is also an integral part of his teaching in the Urban Management and Development MSc program at IHS.
