My professional and academic background is in architecture,
urban planning, and
human geography and my research can be characterized as an
integration of all three disciplines.
My ongoing
research focuses on various aspects
of urban
planning and
development, urban
design, housing, transportation, children's geographies,
and public health
in Canadian cities.
This
work utilizes both qualitative and quantitative
methodologies and I have a particular interest in advancing
urban and health applications of geographic information
systems (GIS) and global positioning systems (GPS).
