She was Chair of the RGS-IBG Urban Geography Research Group (2000-2003). Loretta co-organises (with Jenny Robinson, Matthew Gandy, Monica Degen, Abou Malique Simone and Hyun Bang Shin) the Urban Salon: a London forum for architecture, cities and international urbanism (www.theurbansalon.org). Loretta is an urban geographer who is well known for her work on gentrification, urban regeneration and urban policy; and her related work on public space and architecture. These different research foci are concerned with how we (re-)conceptualize the urban and urban processes and in particular with questions of representation.
