Roni Bar is a PhD candidate in the Porter School of Environmental Studies and the Department of Geography and Human Environment at Tel Aviv University. She was a Research Fellow at the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics and a researcher in the Laboratory for Contemporary Urban Design, both at Tel Aviv University. Bar has a background in architecture and urban planning, with an emphasis on urban regeneration, neighborhood planning and city-industry dynamics. She has co-authored policy papers and two books: City-Industry (2014) and Neighborhood-State (2012). Bar is particularly interested in the way urban planning engages with the unknown and the unexpected--and in the dilemmas that arise when the unknown future is also a contested one. During the fellowship year, Bar will examine urban planning under conditions of ongoing uncertainty and chronic risk, focusing on the city of Jerusalem. Bar is the Israeli exchange scholar in 2016-17.
