Research

Her research focuses on the renovation of social housing through the lens of energy and environmental policies, with an emphasis on the neighborhood scale within urban contexts. She examines the conditions under which projects emerge, the dynamics and relationships between stakeholders involved, and the strategies for their dissemination. She is also interested in the connections between public schools, neighborhood spaces, and local services, exploring the intersection of educational services and urban planning, with particular attention to metropolitan areas and medium-sized cities.
