Professor David Adams
- Emeritus Professor in Urban Studies (School of Social & Political Sciences)
https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5479-0007Biography
I retired from the University of Glasgow in 2019, after almost 15 years as Ian Mactaggart Professor of Property and Urban Studies. During my academic career, I also worked at the Universities of Reading, Manchester and Aberdeen. I am now an Emeritus Professor in Urban Studies and also serve as a Scottish Land Commissioner
My research and publications have explored the interaction between planning and real estate development, with a particular focus on brownfield redevelopment and speculative housebuilding. I am particularly interested in urban land reform and the connections between planning and broader urban land policy, which closely relate to my current role with the Scottish Land Commission
Research interests
I'm interested in State-market relations in land and property, and particularly in planning and land reform, real estate developers, speculative housebuilders, brownfield redevelopment, and place quality.
