Devisari Tunas

Devisari Tunas is the Scenario Coordinator for the Archipelago Cities at the Future Cities Laboratory (FCL) of the Singapore-​ETH Centre. Trained as an architect and urban planner, she obtained her PhD degree in Urbanism from Delft University of Technology (The Netherlands) and Master degree in both “Conservation of historic buildings and towns”, and “Social and cultural anthropology” from Katholieke Universitet Leuven (Belgium).

Devisari is currently co-​leading several ADB and SECO-​funded research projects in Indonesia with Prof Stephen Cairns who is the lead principal investigator, namely in Bandung, Palembang, Semarang and Makassar. The projects focus on the development of smart systems and a planning tool which aims to help decision makers to make better informed, integrated and inclusive planning decisions on the city and metropolitan level.

She was the Singaporean collaborator of LSE’s ‘Resource Urbanism’ research project co-​funded by LSE Kuwait Programme, which examined multiple aspects of how natural resources, urban form and infrastructure affect each other and potentially lead to the establishment of divergent forms of urbanism.

Prior to joining FCL, she worked as a researcher in the Centre for Sustainable Asian Cities (National University of Singapore) and Delft University of Technology. She was involved in various research projects related to urban sustainability assessment, the impact of built environment on community life, and urban socio-​spatial fragmentation.
