Thesis: 'Building Sustainable Cities: Local Policies, Inequalities and Political Behaviour'

My research examines how sustainable urban development policies affect inequalities and political behaviour in European cities. I investigate three key questions: the distributional and spatial impacts of these policies, how these effects shape citizens' policy acceptance and accountability mechanisms within multilevel governance, and how public acceptance influences policymaking within institutional constraints. I use advanced causal inference methods and spatial analysis techniques.

• Sustainable urban policy and climate mitigation
• Distributional impacts and spatial inequalities in cities
• Electoral behaviour and political accountability in multilevel governance
• Causal inference methods
