Current International Research Project: Growing Up In Cities: I co-lead the most globally expansive research into young people’s contemporary urban life, Growing Up In Cities III involves 14 countries and examines adolescent perceptions of urban space in order to better understand the impact the local environment has on their lives.The Growing Up in Cities (GUIC) III project replicates two benchmark adolescent studies done in 1972 by MIT Professor Kevin Lynch and in 1998 by University of Colorado Professor Louise Chawla. The research themes and findings of GUIC III will continue along the trajectory of the original two studies by focusing on contemporary issues that affect young people such as urbanisation, globalisation, digital practice and global warming.
