Planner and human geographer with a general interest in cross-sectoral spatial planning and governance at the urban and regional level. A recurrent research theme for Patrik is the coordination of planning activities normally based on different professional perspectives, in particular at the interface between transportation and urban planning. Methodologically, Patrik prefers a combination of qualitative and quantitative research approaches.
