Professor David Adams

  • Emeritus Professor in Urban Studies (School of Social & Political Sciences)

Biography

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.

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.

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.
