Biography

Born and grown up in Germany, I have studied Urban and Regional Planning at the Politecnico di Torino.
My master's thesis was, after an Erasmus period at the Institute of Geography and Planning (IGOT) of the University of Lisbon, about the process of Tourism Gentrification of the Portuguese capital.
For a long time engaged also as an activist in environmental and social issues, I dedicate my PhD research to how urban planning can contribute to degrowth, which I consider to be the only realistic perspective to avoid catastrophic consequences of our current multiple environmental crises.
