Luke Green
Project description
Luke’s research interests span urban and economic geographies, but chiefly lie in understanding how financial actors and processes (re)shape urban spaces and (re)configure urban governance arrangements. His PhD research studies financial restructuring in the UK higher education sector, and considers what this means for the ways in which universities undertake urban development projects. In looking specifically at the development portfolios of the University of Manchester (England) and the University of Edinburgh (Scotland), two of the largest investors in real estate development among UK universities, his project seeks to understand how their real estate projects are funded, financed and governed – and what this means for their host cities and communities.
