Since 2016 I lecture at the IRE|BS International Real Estate Business School teaching in different curriculum and programs. I have presented and published my work at numerous international conferences in Europe and the US and always look for the chance to expand my network in the research community. As project manager I had the chance to contributor to the publication Stadt – Center: Ein neues Format für die urbane Mitte (editors: Wolfgang Christ, Franz Pesch) that describes a new form of urban shopping developments defining typological challenges, dos and don’ts for integrated urban retail developments.
