Profile

Angelique's research interests relate to design, planning and governance. She is especially interested in planning theory and planning in the context of developing countries. Her research has covered a variety of issues including school meals, solid waste management, local governance, community engagement, devolution, multi-level governance structures, poverty and design (in water intensive climates). She is very interested in complexity theory and its use in planning particularly on how social complexity gets managed to accomplish governance.
