Place and Experience

Description

Place and Experience is one of five research groups established by the School of Architecture and Cities in 2021. The Place and Experience Research Group focus on tourism and events research with specialisms in city tourism and mega events, the tourist and destination community experiences, and sustainability.

The group has a shared concern of the social, environmental as well as business challenges that bringing people to places pose. It is interested in broader analyses of tourism and events and how they link with understandings of place and experience in architecture and urban design, development studies, and geography. Much of the work is inter/trans-disciplinary and is internationally focused, reflecting the cosmopolitan profile of the Group's staff and host city.

The group disseminates its work widely through seminars, symposia, conferences, published articles and books, and regularly host events. It hosts visiting researchers and have several visiting research fellows, visiting professors and an Emeritus Professor who all play an active role.
