Our people

We very are fortunate at Durham Geography to be a community of highly talented individuals working constructively with each other, colleagues from other disciplines and our students to improve the world we live in. A selection of our academic staff who are delivering both world class teaching and research include:

DenCity

Density is a defining feature of cities. Across the world, density is at the centre of policy and planning agendas to build cities that are environmentally, economically, socially and politically ‘sustainable’. But what does it mean to different people and how they live urban lives? And what does that tell us about the nature of cities today?
