Author Information

He is particularly interested in exploring the connections between policy change, institutional restructuring and the spaces of political and social change. Over the past decade Allan has undertaken research on the reshaping and re-imagining of Berlin, on the contemporary redefinition of British urban policy, on higher education and regional social transformation and on the governance of the South-East of England as a city 'region'. He was co-author of Re-Thinking the Region (Routledge 1998) and joint editor of Comparing Welfare States (Sage 2001) and of Security: Welfare Crime and Society (McGrawHill/Open University Press 2008). His book Understanding Urban Policy: a Critical Approach was published by Blackwell in 2007. He is currently Principal Investigator on an ESRC funded project on Tensions and Prospects for Sustainable Housing Growth and Co-investigator on another ESRC funded project on Living Multiculture.
