Interests: Urban-Networks, Geo-Demography, Globalization revolution

Current Research: My current research deals with trends in urban networks and in the geo-demography - mainly in the developed countries - as they are forced to deploy the modern economic growth to counter population contraction that occurs on the fourth stage of the Demographic Transition. This is coupled to adjustments made in urban networks under the influence of the Globalization Revolution. A report on this research was presented, for example, in 2011 AAG annual meeting (April, Seattle, WA) in a paper "Urban clustering in depopulating Russia."
