DrOzge Yenigun

My teaching experience includes previous roles at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where I taught undergraduate and graduate-level courses in planning theory and history, local economic development planning and policy, sustainable development and planning with climate change from 2019 to 2024. I have extensive experience in teaching spatial analysis and GIS, as well as analytical techniques in urban economics  and economic development.

From 2013 to 2017, I also contributed to various undergraduate and graduate-level Development, Design, and Strategic Spatial Planning studio courses and taught Computer Applications (SPSS) of Statistical Methods in Planning for graduate students at the Middle East Technical University.

I currently teach GIS & Planning, Introduction to Spatial Planning, and Local Area Development and Planning at Chang'an Dublin International College (CDIC) and Urban and Regional Economics and Property Development at the UCD campus.

My courses aim to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of planning principles, techniques, and practice, and equip them with practical and analytical skills. I employ a research-led and applied approach in my teaching, integrating research and practical insights through guest lectures, site visits, hands-on projects, as well as collaboration with local planning and development practitioners.
