Dr Sarah Scheiber is specialised in urban design and spatial planning and is a lecturer within the Faculty for the Built Environment. Her PhD research focused on the planning and design of urban open spaces in Malta. The research looks at the potential for urban open spaces in Malta to contribute to the sustainable development of the built environment. In particular, it looks at the adoption of an ‘Urban Green Infrastructure Planning Approach’.

After reading for her Masters, which specialised in the renewal and redesign of city areas, at the Technical University of Delft, The Netherlands, Sarah spent several years working as an urban designer in both private and public spheres in The Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
