Maurits van Rooijen (born 1956) is a Dutch socio-economic historian and geographer. His research has concentrated on green urbanisation and re-interpreting garden city principles. In recent publications he has promoted the concept of the "Global Knowledge City" arguing that in "the 21st century besides the need to blend urbanisation with agriculture and manufacturing (the original garden city mission), global knowledge innovation should be at the core of sustainable urbanisation."[1]
In 2013 he was awarded the prize for EAIE Constance Meldrum Award for Vision & Leadership.[2] Since 2012, he has been the CEO & Rector of the London School of Business and Finance (LSBF).[3]
