Research
Professor Allmendinger’s research is in the theory and practices of land use regulation and spatial planning, with a focus upon development and housing.
Recent projects and publications have explored the fragmenting practices of planning at different scales, the relationship between national objectives and local development strategies and alternative regulatory and fiscal mechanisms for development. This work is grounded within and informed by a range of theoretical frameworks but seeks to make sense of and bridge the gap to how localities approach change in the built and natural environments.
His most recent book is on the impact of digital technology on cities and he is writing another on the post-COVID city.
