His prime scientific interests are within the fields of spatial planning instruments such as strategic spatial planning and place branding and regional development concepts as constructing regional advantage and regional attractiveness, and the embedding of these in territorial governance systems. His current research focuses on analysing the effectiveness strategic spatial planning instruments in supporting the social and economic development of less developed regions and local communities within, whilst assessing its effect on environmental sustainability. At the EG Working Group, he aims to investigate the relationship between strategy-driven and context-sensitive frameworks for sustainable territorial governance as catalysts of regional development.
