Dr Tse-Hui Teh
Lecturer, The Bartlett School of Planning, UCL
Biography
Dr Tse-Hui Teh is a lecturer of urban design and planning in the Bartlett School of Planning, University College London. She uses a collective coevolution of actant trajectories (CCAT) framework to understand how water and sanitation infrastructures can become sustainable. She also uses CCAT to create codesign games that enable public participation to change urban infrastructure. Her current projects look at urban rice and cress farming in Antananarivo, water reuse in Sydney and London, water quality in the UK and Wales, and vacuum flush toilets in London.
