Urban Spatial History – Small ports
TU Delft
Yvonne van Mil is a researcher at the Department of Architecture at Delft University of Technology. After graduating in Delft in 2009, she worked for 10 years as an independent researcher, collaborating with various heritage and academic institutions. She specialises in spatial history and geospatial mapping, with a particular interest in the history of (regional) strategic planning. She worked on the publication of the Atlas of the Dutch Urban Landscape (2014), the first overview of urbanisation in the Netherlands from a long-term perspective. She is co-author of several books, including Port City Atlas. Mapping European Port City Territories (2023), Driven by Steel. From Hoogovens to Tata Steel 1918-2018 (2018), Atlas van het Westland (2016) and contributed chapters to the Atlas van de Schie (2016). The focus of her research is on mapping-based research methods for the comparative analysis of complex urban and rural landscapes in transition
