Waste management
How Britain disposes of its waste has become an urgent issue. Research led by Professor Simin Davoudi has been instrumental in shaping government policy on waste management by investigating how policy and political pressures are influencing current processes across England.
The findings have been central to new government guidance on waste policy. Both the Department of Communities and Local Government and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs have responded by strengthening the role of regions in developing waste planning policy.
