George Wilkinson

George Wilkinson is an Adjunct Lecturer at the Design School of The University of Western Australia (UWA), where he also pursues doctoral studies. His PhD research investigates urban primacy drivers in Australia under the title "A Scarcity of Large, Non-Capital Cities," contributing to UN Sustainable Development Goal 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities).

Wilkinson's research expertise centers on Economic geography, Urban Primacy, and Regional development, with specific focus on institutional theory, federalism, and political dimensions of urban-rural divides. His methodological approach combines correlational analysis, case studies, and natural experiments across Australian and Mexican contexts.

Analysis of his 2022-2025 publications reveals consistent exploration of how political institutions shape urban hierarchies, with particular attention to immigrant settlement patterns in regional Australia and the impact of federal structures on city growth. This body of work bridges political science and urban geography through institutional analysis.
