Angelique is interested in planning theory, especially in Complexity theory. She has worked with ‘fractals’ to explain planning outcomes linking it to governance arrangements across scales. She has also engaged with the theory of ‘autopoiesis’ to understand how planning practices and outcomes might be explained through the idea of social systems.
