Research Partner – Neighbourhood Economies, High Streets & Urban Transformation

Urban Researcher | Urban Planner | Urban Regeneration & Spatial Analysis at Sepideh Baghaee – Urban Research & Planning

Madrid, Spain

About

I am seeking to join a European research consortium for the DUT Call 2026, particularly under the 15-minute City topic “Nurture neighbourhood economies – activate innovation in local everyday offers”.

I am an urban researcher and planner with a PhD in Urban Regeneration and Sustainability from Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. My doctoral research examined the transformation and complementarity of high streets and shopping centres, providing a strong background in retail environments, urban vitality, and local economic dynamics.

I can contribute expertise in:

  • Urban regeneration and transformation

  • Neighbourhood economies and high streets

  • Urban planning and public space

  • GIS and spatial analysis

  • Space Syntax and spatial data analysis

  • Sustainable urban development

I am particularly interested in contributing to research on neighbourhood vitality, local everyday offers, spatial transformation, accessibility and the relationship between the built environment and local economic and social activity. I am open to contributing as a research partner, with potential involvement in spatial analysis, case-study research, urban diagnosis and the development of planning-oriented outputs.
