Trosolwyg
I am a Research Fellow in Sustainable Places Research Institute. My broader research expertise is in social innovation and governance. I have experience of research in climate change, socioeconomic development, and social cohesion for local and regional development policy and practice. I have also conducted research on climate change resilience policies and practice in London and Northeast England.
I lead the Institute's research programmes on Cities and sustainable places that integrates the work related to social innovation for sustainable urban transformations, governance of sustainable places, and spatial analysis and design of the built environment. Other key relevant areas include community-led transition and adaptation, sustainable mobility, and integrative methods for sustainability science research and engagement. I have also worked on the research area 'Adaptive Governance for Social and Ecological Transitions'.
