Rachel is a PhD candidate at the University of Queensland. Her research interests include how cities adapt their urban form to changing conditions such as rapid population growth or decline, natural disasters, de-industrialisation and climate change; using GIS to track changes to urban layouts over time, including city blocks, streets and property parcels and how urban policy influences (or fails to influence) desired settlement patterns. Her research on urban infill in Brisbane won the 2021 Queensland PIA Award for Planning Excellence in Planning Research. Rachel has previously worked as a planner and policy advisor, and as a solicitor specialising in planning and environment law.
