About
Tatiana Moreira de Souza is a Lecturer in Planning and Undergraduate Programme Director (BA Urban Planning, MPlan Town and Regional Planning, BA Environment and Planning, and BA Geography and Planning). Her interests span urban regeneration, neighbourhood change, neighbourhood and community, and housing policy. Her research has focused on the social dynamics of regenerated neighbourhoods, on social mix policies and the governance of urban diversity, and in the last few years, on housing tenure, particularly on the regulation of short- and long-term rental housing.
Her work employs mixed methods and cross-national comparisons, bridging policy analysis with on-the-ground social dynamics. She has worked on projects such as the €6.5 million EU-funded DIVERCITIES study on migration, ethnic entrepreneurship and diversity governance across Europe and on research on the regulatory responses to platform-mediated short-term rentals in 12 European cities (funded by the Property Research Trust). She is currently collaborating with colleagues in Germany and France on research on suburban densification dynamics and their impacts under varying planning regimes, focusing on local stakeholders and landowners.
Prior to joining the University of Liverpool, Tatiana held academic positions at Oxford Brookes University and University College London (UCL), where she contributed to teaching and research in urban planning, regeneration, housing, and urban design. She holds a BSc in Architecture and Urbanism from the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, a MSc in Urban Regeneration and a PhD in Planning Studies from University College London.
Tatiana is keen to connect and develop collaborative projects with researchers and academic collaborators with shared interests.
