Personal Statement

I am the Discipline Lead for Planning and a Senior Lecturer in European Spatial Planning at the University of Liverpool. My research and teaching focus primarily on the international and comparative dimensions of urban and territorial planning and related fields of urban and regional policy. My PhD thesis (Liverpool, 2004) examined the application of the European Spatial Development Perspective in selected planning systems in the EU.

I am Editor in Chief of Transactions of the Association of European Schools of Planning, Viewpoints editor of Town Planning Review, and an editorial board member of Urban, Planning and Transport Research.
