Profile

Paul Jenkins is involved in research into the nature of the ‘urban’ in emerging cities worldwide (working in several African countries and Brazil) and has had a long involvement in social architecture. His current interests focus on architecture as a cultural medium. Part of his work also focuses on the conceptual nature of and organisational development for architecture research.

Prof. Paul Jenkins is an architect, planner and social scientist and has worked during the past 36 years across a wide range of the built environment fields: architecture, construction, housing, planning and urban studies – in practice, policy-making, teaching/training, and research. A major element of his work focuses on social and cultural issues and much of his work is in the global ‘South’ – mainly Sub-Saharan Africa, but also Brazil. His work in the ‘North’ (mainly UK and Europe) includes research development within architectural academia and the profession, and research & knowledge interfaces between these and other social partners.
