Via this post we would like to introduce Dr. Ana Petrović as a new member of our Planning Complex Cities first mentor team (Ana has been a Planning Complex Cities second mentor since the 2021/22 round of the studio; she will now also accept students as a first mentor).
Ana is an Assistant Professor in the Urban Studies group and a human geographer by training. She is interested in the relationships between the social and the spatial, for example how socio-spatial inequalities develop over time within and between cities, how cities are structured and organised starting from very small neighbourhoods up to regional scales. Within and beyond these themes, her methodological interests include quantitative (spatial) analysis of large longitudinal and geocoded data. During her PhD, which she obtained at TU Delft, she developed multiscale measures of population and used them to study the effects on spatial contexts at multiple spatial scales on people’s income.
