Research profile
Daniel Galland is Associate Professor in the Department of Planning at Aalborg University in Copenhagen. His research and scholarship are bound by an interest in the drivers of change shaping urban and regional planning institutions, policies and practices, and the modes of spatial intervention emerging as a result.

- Planning and Governing the Metropolis (ARL: German Academy of Spatial Research and Planning)
- Nordic Planning Styles in Urban & Regional Governance (NOS-HS: Joint Committee for Nordic Research Councils for the Humanities and the Social Sciences)

He is also co-editor of Metropolitan Regions, Planning and Governance (Springer 2020) and Planning Regional Futures (Routledge 2022).
