Juliet’s teaching and research span the fields of Architecture, Urban Design and City Planning History/Theory. She is the author of two books and numerous other publications across these areas reflecting interests in the politics of urban change and post-industrial regeneration, megaevent-led transformation, the role of the heritage and memory in urban futures, the image of urban places, and the potential for caring cities. Her research has been funded by UKRI, Grosvenor, Cardiff University, The Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art, and others.
