As lecturer in urban planning I mostly teach research methodology and urban development courses to bachelor and master students. I am interested in the strategic decision making in the game played between governments, developpers, housing associations, investors, place makers, and inhabitans/citizens. That is, my interests lays in the scientific studies on where planning and real estate meet in the development of our built environment.
