Curriculum Vitae

Since May 2013, Yaman Hebbo has been an architect and urban planner pursuing his studies at a Ph.D. level at the Habitat Unit of the TU-Berlin. Yaman is exploring the topic of transportation and urban mobility planning in relation to another level of implementation while practicing it in the urban contexts of Assiut in Egypt, Kigali in Rwanda and Da Nang in Vietnam, case cities witnessing a challenging urbanization growth. Finding synergies between mobility and other sector-based urban services regarding their spatial allocations and relevant stakeholders is a goal. This is to examine, based on a trans-sector approach, whether it is possible to draw a model for sustainable urban transformation that adequately addresses the challenges of rapid urban growth.

He achieved his Bachelor of Science in Architecture in 2005 and then, in 2006, he received a Post-Graduate Diploma in City Planning. He achieved both degrees at the University of Aleppo in Syria. In October 2008, he came to Germany to join a Master of Science program in Urban Agglomerations at the University of Applied Sciences in Frankfurt am Main in 2010. 

The emphasis of Yaman’s Master thesis A Framework for the spatial planning of Aleppo in Syria was about defining the main elements of a development strategy for towns and cities in the developing world. Here he addressed the main common characteristics that describe the current urban status and indicate the future challenges of urbanity in these parts of the world. The aim was to draw a conceptual framework for the desired urban development based on a realistic case study together with a confidential database and information.
