Biography

James White is Professor of Planning and Urban Design and Subject Group Co-Lead for Place and Built Environment in the Division of Urban Studies and Social Policy. He studied City and Regional Planning (BSc) and Urban Design (MA) at Cardiff University before completing his doctoral studies in Planning at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. James joined the University of Glasgow in 2012.

James is the Principal Investigator of URBAN RETROFIT, an ESRC-funded research project exploring how place-adaptation for net zero can be delivered through existing planning and development systems. URBAN RETROFIT is the headline research project of the Place theme at the ESRC-funded UK Collaborative Centre for Housing Evidence where James is Deputy Director and Place theme lead. James recently completed the ESRC-funded REPAIR project (Real Estate Adaptation and Innovation within an Integrated Retailing System) as Co-Investigator and was part of an ESRC UK-South Korea Connections Grant project called Creating Prosperous City Centres Post-Pandemic Through Repurposing Retail Space.

Alongside his research, James teaches urban design and planning for urban sustainability to post-graduate students of City Planning, City Planning and Real Estate Development and Housing.

James is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, a Chartered Town Planner and a Member of the Urban Design Group. He sits on the Glasgow Urban Design Panel and serves as Chair of the University of Newcastle Partnership Board on behalf of the Royal Town Planning Institute and is a member of the ESRC Peer Review College.

Research interests

James is interested in the theory and application of design governance and place adaptation in the context of sustainable urban development. His research focuses is on the tools and mechanisms that planners use to shape the built environment and enhance urban design quality. He is especially interested in high-rise residential development, urban density, housing design quality and retrofitting city centres. James studies urban design and planning in UK and international contexts, including Canada.

James' recent published work on the UK includes a major study of housing design quality in the four UK nations that proposes a new model of the 'critical points of design intervention' in neighbourhood design, and analyses of the experience economy on the UK high street and the future of large city centre shopping malls. His international research includes a longitudinal study of planning and design governance on Toronto's waterfront and a global evidence review on high-rise urban form.

James' book, co-authored with John Punter, Condoland: The Planning, Design, and Development of Toronto's CityPlace, follows the planning and design of a high-rise residential mega-project in Toronto and examines the design impacts of vertical urbanisation. It was published in May 2023. In addition to URBAN RETROFIT UK, James' current research focuses on the allocation of public spaces in private high-rise buildings and how 'land value capture' mechanisms shape urban design outcomes.
