Researching my PhD thesis entitled, 'Wasted Space: Lost opportunities in managing small derelict sites in Liverpool'. This study explores the effects of unenumerated small scale land dereliction on cities and communities in social and economic terms. The study takes a mixed methods approach including a three-tier case study focusing on the development of the derelict land issue in Liverpool. Liverpool is considered to be the most deprived local authority in England and has experienced long term demographic decline and depression and as such has a high proportion of derelict and vacant land. Despite being the focus of a plethora of regeneration initiatives, Liverpool still has a large number of derelict sites, the majority of which are smaller than 0.25 hectares. The role involved managing my own research, critical review of existing data, the manipulation of large data sets from various sources in GIS databases, interviewing participants from various organisations, site surveys of derelict sites, exploration and analysis of both qualitative and quantitative data, communicating findings to various groups, both academic and professional.
