: GISDECO – GIS for Developing Countries: an international
network for the exchange of experiences on the use of GIS
in urban and regional planning and development in
developing countries. GISDECO organizes workshops and
conferences. Chair of the local organizing committee for the
2002 conference held at ITC, Enschede in May 2002 and
since that time Coordinator of International Committee.

: Geo-Information Nederland – Professional association of
the GIS community in the Netherlands.
: Richard’s specialisations are in the field of urban planning in
developing countries and in particular to the use of
geographic information technologies for the collection,
management, analysis, visualisation and communication of
spatial information in urban planning and management. He
has developed particular knowledge and skills in urban airphoto interpretation and urban remote sensing. Much of his
work has focused on better understanding the development
processes in unplanned housing areas in various cities. He
has however also been involved in the development of
information systems development for urban planning
agencies at local government level. He is currently involved
in promoting the development and use of Participatory GIS

in urban settings and in developing methods for the
mapping of slums with remote sensing.
: Richard’s research activities focus on the application of
Geographic Information Technology (GIT) in support of
strategic and local urban planning processes. Emphasis is
placed on improving the information base for urban
planning activities, at both city-wide and local levels. In
particular he is interested in developing ways to improve
the information base for planning and the exchange of
information and knowledge in multi-level, multi-actor
planning and decision making processes. His PhD research
examined how GIT can support local authorities and
communities in Sub-Saharan Africa. This research was
concerned with making urban planning more responsive
and effective, and especially incorporating low-income
communities in the planning process. He is now
supervising several PhD students working on issues
related to spatial planning and sustainable urban
development in China, India and Vietnam. The cities of
Shenzhen, Hanoi, Kisumu, and Ahmedabad serve as case
studies for this work.
