Haris Biskos is an architect, urbanist, and international urban policy expert based in Athens. His work focuses on the intersection of urban design, social innovation, and public policy, examining how these fields can be connected to deliver more resilient and equitable solutions to today’s urban challenges. For over 15 years, he has helped shape urban strategies and innovative initiatives across European cities — from reimagining public spaces to advancing affordable housing, energy transition, and climate adaptation. He has served as an expert for institutions and flagship initiatives of the European Commission (Urban Innovative Actions, European Urban Initiative, Intelligent Cities Challenge, Joint Research Centre, Urban Agenda for the EU) and has collaborated with global networks and municipalities to translate ambitious strategies into tangible action. In his practice, he brings a multidisciplinary and inclusive perspective to urban design and innovation.

In parallel, he curates and leads participatory educational programs on architecture and urban design for the independent organisation DOMa Education, and has taught urban design studios as adjunct faculty at the School of Architecture of the University of Patras. His work reflects a strong commitment to bridging local knowledge with global policy frameworks, guiding the transformation of cities towards climate neutrality, equity, and democratic resilience.

He holds a Diploma in Architecture from the University of Patras and a Master in Architecture (M.Arch II) from the Harvard Graduate School of Design, supported by fellowships from the Gerondelis Foundation and the Hellenic Harvard Foundation.
