My research and working interests focus on: (urban planning) curriculum design and pedagogy, urban design (policy, practice and education), urban heritage conservation, the role of public space in placemaking and placeshaping, and on reflective learning procedures in built environment academia. My pedagogical research is closely linked to my teaching practice and managerial leadership duties in the School of Planning. As such, my innovative research projects aim at creating a better and more appropriate learning environment for our students as well as supporting their learning experience. Latest key outputs include:
