Iolanda Bianchi
Iolanda Bianchi (PhD in political science and PhD in urban planning) is an urban political scholar. She works in the field of urban governance, urban policies and collective action. Her research focuses on the interplay between public and collective action at the urban scale, and examines how this interplay can produce governance, policy and social change, to achieve more just, equal and democratic cities. To push knowledge forward in this debate, she works at the crossroad of commons and new municipalism theory. She currently holds a Marie Skłodowska-Curie research position at the University of Antwerp.
