Research interests

Rebecca re-joined Urban Studies at the University of Glasgow in January 2014 following an earlier period as an Urban Studies Foundation Research Fellow. Her research examines the emotional and economic values of heritage in the context of urban development and management. Her ESRC funded PhD focused on the role of industrial heritage in the process of place making and in particular how decisions concerning the demolition or re-use of historic buildings were made. Central to this was an understanding of how historic places were ascribed meaning and value during the process of urban regeneration from the 1970s to the early 2000s, and involved an in-depth analysis of community attachments to threatened historic spaces, a sense of place, and place marketing.

A focus on the meaning of place continued through funded projects which sought to examine place attachment in a number of case studies including de-industrial spaces and Brutalist buildings in Leicester, recreational spaces in Glasgow, historic places in London, rural villages in China, and the design of new buildings in Clydebank. This published work is complemented by the award-winning film ‘You Can’t Move History’ which was funded by the AHRC and was awarded Best Research Film, 2016. Rebecca’s current AHRC project continues this long-standing focus on place attachment and urban heritage by focusing on the relationship between urban change and attachment to historic places since the late twentieth century.

Rebecca has also maintained an interest in comparative urbanism since her PhD research on British and French cities, and has recently published a co-edited book on approaches to comparative and transnational urban history. Rebecca retains an active involvement with a number of planning and heritage organisations at the national and city levels in the UK, including the Editorial Board of the Institute of Historic Building Conservation's professional journal 'Context' She is also an Associate Member of the Royal Town Planning Institute.
