Meta Berghauser Pont is associate professor in Urban Design and Planning and leads, together with Lars Marcus, the Spatial Morphology Group (SMoG). Her research focus is Urban Morphology specializing in the quantification of urban form. She develops models to measure urban density and network centrality with the aim to better understand how urban form can support or cancel out social, economic and ecological processes. |
