Nurul Azreen Azlan is an NUS Fellow at the Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore (NUS). Her academic focus leans towards the politics of space, where she is predominantly interested in the availability of space for people to participate in public life. As such, she is interested in how and why spaces and infrastructure are produced and governed in relation to politics, the impact of privatisation of public goods, and how historical processes, particularly colonisation, has shaped the resultant built environment and spatial practices. At NUS, she is researching the socio-spatial impact of land reclamation in Malaysia. She is currently on sabbatical leave from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia.
