Biography

Christian Zuidema is Assistant Professor in Spatial Planning at the Department of Spatial Planning and Environment at the University of Groningen, Netherlands.

Christian Zuidema skilfully navigates the theoretical and practice pluralism of environmental governance. In worlds plagued by many forms of environmental pollution, there are no ready-made answers.
