Research

Areas of Research

Planning and Urban Theory; State Theory and Production of Space; Post-phenomenology and Deconstruction; Post-foundational Political Thought; Spaces of Democracy.

My research explores the intersection of urban theory, political philosophy, and spatial analysis. I examine how state institutions, planning practices, and discursive formations shape the production of space and democratic participation. Drawing on critical urban theory, continental philosophy and post-foundational political thought, my work investigates how spatial narratives and planning processes reflect and reproduce power relations within contemporary urban contexts.
