Research Interests:
- Morphogenesis, urban form and its information signatures as expressions of the diverse social and cultural forces that shape cities.
- Urban vitality, disentangling the effect of buildings on the social life of streets and neighbourhoods from the effect of street networks.
- Cities as large-scale cooperation systems, essential for how societies manage entropy, and the interplay of communication and space.
- Mobility segregation in cities, pioneering research on individual and dynamic segregation forms since 1999.
- The multidisciplinary landscape of segregation research and the development of an ontology of segregation forms | see Segregation Wiki
