Location
Emma’s research activities cut across the disciplines of real estate and planning, urban design and architecture. She is interested in the values, assumptions, decisions and processes that shape the way that urban environments look, function and are governed.
Emma’s research often focusses on what might be seen as the mundane, instrumental or procedural aspects of everyday life, such as building codes and regulations, urban policies or elements of the planning system. She has particular expertise in urban regeneration, and a growing interest in the politics of planning places for active travel. Emma is currently working on a project on environmental regulation, expert knowledge and new development, building on past research with Gavin Parker on consultant inputs to the English planning system. With Victor Nicholls, Emma is collaborating with industry and government partners on town centre regeneration research, with a focus on the British New Towns. Finally, she is leading a participatory research project with partners in Reading exploring the connections between urban regeneration, behaviour change and active travel infrastructure.
