Personal profile

Short presentation

My research addresses planning processes, policy analysis and governance regimes - primarily in a Danish, European and Scandinavian context. My current thematic focus in this respect is on human adaptation to climate change, temporary urban activities, and urbanisation processes in peri-urban areas. Here I study visions, policies and regulation at local, national and international scale, relationships between planning system, citizens and other actors, and how the planning system and practices within influence and is influenced by the practice of the actors involved.
