Emma Street

Emma Street's research interests cut across the following themes: (i) urban governance, business and politics; (ii) sustainable community building, urban policy and planning; and (iii) architecture, urban design and the built environment. Her work on the first theme is focused on the ways in which urban regeneration strategy is authored, implemented and managed, with a particular focus on the interplay between local government, communities and the private sector in localised decision-making and delivery. A second, and closely related, area of her research critically considers current and past urban policy and planning initiatives, including the sustainable communities and localism agendas. Finally, Emma has an interest in the urban design process, and in particular the ways in which the built environment can be conceived of as co-produced by the regulations, rules and codes that seek to order social life.

Urban policy, planning and governance; Built environment; Urban design and architecture.
