Jharana Bhattarai

I am a PhD candidate at the Centre for Urban Research, RMIT University in Melbourne after completion of my masters degree in urban and regional planning from University of South Australia. In my doctoral research, I am looking into how climate change impacts can be responded at the local level in the urban regions of developing countries and exploring how people make the decisions about policies for an adaptive action of climate change’s impacts. This research will also try to discover the role of urban governance principles in developing adaptation actions in the cities. My research interest lies in the topics such as International Development, sustainable cities, Urban Planning and Governance, climate change adaptation and global cities.
