I have six years professional experience working at Southampton and Cardiff councils, undertaking the full range of planning policy and urban regeneration project work. Furthermore, I spent a year at the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister in Whitehall working for the Urban Policy Unit, and have also worked at the University of Leuven in Belgium on a Federal Government financed project.
Upon arriving at Sheffield Hallam in 2002 I spent two years as a researcher in UK Neighbourhood Renewal and European Urban Policy and Governance before gaining permanent tenure as a lecturer.
I am a full accredited member of both UK Professional Institutes for Spatial Planning (Royal Town Planning Institute) and Economic Development (Institute of Economic Development) and also a fellow of the UK Higher Education Academy.
I am also the convener of the Association of European Schools of Planning (AESOP) thematic group on British-Low Countries comparison. This research network comprises members from 18 different universities across England, Wales, Belgium and the Netherlands.
