Adam Dennett

Adam Dennett is Professor of Urban Analytics at the Bartlett Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA), University College London. He has held roles including Head of Department (2018–2023) and Editor-in-Chief of Applied Spatial Analysis and Policy. His career spans academic leadership, research in urban systems, and adjunct roles in policy-relevant spatial analysis.

Educated at Lancaster University (BSc Geography, 2001), the University of Cambridge (PGCE, 2002), and the University of Leeds (MSc Human Geography with GIS, 2005; PhD in GIS, 2010), his interdisciplinary background combines education, pedagogy, and advanced spatial analytics.

Research focuses on urban sustainability, spatial interaction modelling, and energy policy. Key areas include mapping energy efficiency disparities, AI-driven urban collective intelligence, and transport equity. His work integrates demographic trends, migration patterns, and spatial data science to address challenges like net-zero transitions and urban gentrification.

Publications emphasize methodological innovation in spatial analysis, with contributions to energy policy, public health geographies, and urban infrastructure design. His projects often involve cross-sector collaborations and policy application frameworks.

Labs/Teams: CASA’s Urban Analytics Group and the DEMIFER migration research consortium. Current work includes digital twin applications for urban management and geospatial data platforms like Colouring London.
