SHORT RESEARCH STATEMENT My main research interest deals with the analysis of infrastructures underlying the day-to-day business carried out in and between (global) cities. The term ‘infrastructure’ is hereby used in a general guise, as it involves a wide range of technical arrangements, including daily commuting systems, container shipping networks, airline networks, and Internet backbone networks. Although each of these and other, related (transport) infrastructures are characterized by specific spatial and organizational logics, they have one major function in common: they collectively support the flows of people, ideas, knowledge, capital, goods, etc. that facilitate the (re)production of cities as strategic places in the economy. The straightforward premise underlying this perspective is that cities are not only prominently connected in infrastructure networks, but above all combine the advantages of assuming central positions in these networks to support the global work that is routinely done within and between these cities. Hence my research topics are situated in three broad domains: (1) transport geography, mobility and logistics; (2) urban geography, urban policy and world city analysis; and (3) territorial organisation and spatial planning. More in detail this involves analyzing such issues as travel behavior analysis and modeling, the relationship between travel and land use, sustainable mobility, business travel, cross-border mobility, city logistics, global commodity chains, polycentric urban development, the locational analysis of corporations.
