the Department of Urbanism at the Faculty of Architecture at the Delft University of Technology. She specialises in the study on the relationship between road building and urban change, location pattern of shops in built environments, studies on larger groups of cities and metropolis, the configurable urban sustainability, and the spatial features of crime in urban areas. She developed also various spatial tools for analysing the relationship between buildings and streets. She finished her PhD thesis at the Department of Land Use and Landscape Planning, Agricultural University of Norway in 2002. Moreover, she has working experience from the Public Road Administration in Norway, Drammen and Asker municipality in Norway, and teaching experience from running space syntax workshops around in Europe and China. During the last years, she has been involved in applying space syntax in various consultancy projects, such as interchange stations, effect on economic vitality of urban areas as an effect of road building, and regenerating strategies of neighbourhoods.
