Research themes
Research in the domain of Social and Economic Geography focusses on three clusters.
First of all, the research analyses travel behaviour and city logistics.
Second, there is an emphasis on present-day evolutions in the Flemish urban system, urban policy, and the formation of a world city network.
Finally, the research also investigates location decisions of private and public companies, the relationship between transport and production, and land use modelling.
