About the Editors
Regan Koch is a Lecturer in Human Geography at Queen Mary University of London.
His interests are in matters of public space, urban sociality and collective culture, and
the representation and imagination of urban life. Working between London and vari-
ous cities across the US, Regan’s research has focused on exploring novel food trends,
social entrepreneurship, licensing laws and government regulations, and changing
social norms related to how we live together in cities. His work has been published in
Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Urban Studies, the International
Journal of Urban and Regional Research, and in several edited collections.
Alan Latham teaches in the Department of Geography at University College London.
His research is focused on urban sociality, corporeal mobility and public space. Writing
on topics ranging from urban cycling and recreational running, cultural economies and
neighbourhood change, to the overseas experiences of transnational migrants, his
work explores the materialities and practices that generate distinctive forms of urban
life. He has published widely in edited collections and international journals including
Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Environment and Planning D,
Cultural Geographies and Urban Studies. He is the co-author of Key Concepts in
Urban Geography.
