Rebecca Madgin is a Professor in Urban Studies at the University of Glasgow. She re-joined the Urban Studies department in January 2014 after serving as a Foundation Research Fellow. Her research primarily focuses on the emotional economic values within heritage contexts and urban development management. She completed her ESRC funded PhD exploring the role of industrial heritage in place-making, specifically analyzing the decisions regarding demolition and reuse of historic buildings. Her work contributed to understanding historic places and their ascribed meanings throughout the urban regeneration processes from the 1970s to the early 2000s. Further, her research examines place attachment through various case studies, including de-industrial spaces, Brutalist architecture, and rural neighborhoods. Madgin has also produced an award-winning film titled 'You Can’t Move History.' In addition to her current project funded by the AHRC, focusing on urban heritage, she has maintained a keen interest in comparative urbanism through her PhD work on British and French cities. With ongoing involvement in various planning and heritage organizations, she brings a wealth of expertise to her role, contributing to editorial boards and participating in numerous funded projects.
