Hartmut Dumke completed a carpentry apprenticeship in Germany after graduating from high school and later went on to study spatial planning at TU Wien from 1991. Since receiving his diploma in 1997, he has been researching and publishing on topics of regional planning, cross-border planning, integrated spatial and energy planning, as well as energy governance. Up until 2011, he worked for mecca environmental consulting, and since then has been engaged at the Institute of Spatial Planning. His doctoral thesis "Erneuerbare Energien für Regionen - Flächenbedarfe und Flächenkonkurrenzen" (2017) – which has also been published as a book by TU academic Press – won the Rudolf-Wurzer-Prize of the Faculty of Architecture and Spatial Planning, as well as the Sixtus Lanner Prize 2019 (category "Rural Development“). The basic approach of his work is that innovative spatial development always requires bridging the very challenging gap between physical and social spaces.
