Jessica Berit VerheijI am a postdoctoral researcher at the Laboratory of Landscape Development (LAND). My research focuses on spatial conflicts in growing cities, mainly in relation to urban greening and densification. I am interested in understanding the political processes behind the implementation of sustainability goals and the role of planning and property in urban development.I hold a PhD degree in Geography from the University of Bern. In my PhD research, I analysed how cities can combine urban greening with densificatio
