Project description

With this fundamental research, it is our aim to provide a more precise understanding of urban political leadership in decision-making processes of urban projects. To map the role, impact and strategic behaviour of urban political leaders, we will reconstruct thoroughly the complex decision-making processes of similar urban projects in Belgium, France and the United Kingdom.
