PhD student in Participatory Urban Governance
Can you write a research proposal (Ph.D. level) for following description;
The newly established research team in “Spatial Development and Urban Policy” is developing a research agenda in participatory urban governance that studies citizens’ preferences of large-scale urban infrastructure projects via survey research. The realization of large urban infrastructure projects is necessary to achieve long-term planning goals, yet such projects are frequently contested by citizens and they should meet democratic principles such as citizen participation, transparency and legitimacy.
Please use some recent research conducting in ETH Zurich Participatory Urban Governance department (especially with above agenda mentioned)
