Urban Governance
My original research expertise lies in Urban Governance. I am interested in how cities and regions are run, and how they interact with national governments.
My recent research has discussed the Northern Powerhouse, and Levelling Up. I am the author of a book (Rescaling Urban Governance) which brings together all the developments in this area from 2010-2020) for the first time.
Urban Cycling
I am also heavily interested in research relating to urban cycling. Here, I am keen to undertake practice-led research which explores how urban areas can improve their urban cycling rates, and overcome the barriers which might prevent them from doing so.
