The Revitalisation and Regeneration of Small Cities

VISP meeting in Enschede, the Netherlands

I enjoy studying and visiting cities, and have become particularly interested in the role of smaller cities, and how spatial planning might influence how viable, vital and sustainable places they might be in the future. I have recently completed a study of five such European cities under the North Sea EU INTERREG Programme.
