Dr David Waite

  • Senior Lecturer (Urban Studies & Social Policy)

Biography

Following undergraduate and initial postgraduate work at the University of Auckland (NZ), and after a period of work in public policy, I completed doctoral research at the University of St Andrews. I was a Research Associate at Cardiff University prior to joining the University of Glasgow.

Research interests

My research focuses on the development of second-tier city-regions and I am interested in both the underpinning production systems at and the governance responses for these places.

My research draws on multi-disciplinary perspectives, meshing economic geography with specific areas of heterodox economics, particularly critical realism. I have interests in urban innovation and infrastructure, and within these policy arenas I am focused on the re-emergence of inclusive growth agendas, as well as other alternative economic development agendas that seek to achieve a balance across environmental, social and economic objectives. 

I convene the Urban Theory Reading Group -
