Susie Moloney

I am an Associate Professor in Sustainability and Urban Planning in the School of Global Urban and Social Studies and a member of the Centre for Urban Research (CUR), RMIT University. My research focuses on climate change adaptation, social equity and justice, urban sustainability and land-use planning and the implications for policy and governance particularly at the local and regional scale. I has worked for both the public, private and not-for-profit sectors in the urban planning, sustainability and social justice domains. Between 2021-2023 I was worked with Jesuit Social Services to establish the Centre for Just Places. As the Executive Director I led a research, policy and practice team working at the intersection of social justice, equity and well-being and climate change. I have published in Sustainability, Australian Planner, Environmental Policy and Governance, Energy Policy and Urban Climate journals and have co-authored Planning Melbourne: Lessons for a Sustainable City (CSIRO Publishing 2016) and co-edited Local Action on Climate Change: Opportunities and Constraints (Routledge 2017).
