Reader in Property Economics

E-Mail: paul.greenhalgh@northumbria.ac.uk  

I was a student at Newcastle Poly between 1986 and 1989, gaining a first class honours degree in Estate Management, before going to work for the British Rail Property Board in York for three years, where I qualified as a General Practice chartered surveyor. I enjoyed myself so much as a student in Newcastle that I decided to come back as a lecturer and joined the School on the day Northumbria became a University. I am now a Reader in Property Economics in the School of the Built Environment.

I completed a Post Graduate Certificate in Educational Development and went on to gain Staff and Educational Development Association Accreditation. I am a member of the Institute for Learning and Teaching in Higher Education and a Registered Practitioner of the Higher Education Academy.  My favourite aspects of the job are teaching and researching.

My area of expertise is urban regeneration, a subject on which I have published journal papers and articles. My PhD study investigates the displacement of industrial and office occupiers caused by property-led regeneration schemes in Tyne and Wear.

I am a member of the RICS Urban Regeneration policy panel and have written policy papers for them, as well having done consultancy work for One North East, the Grainger Town Partnership, Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment and the North East Assembly.

I enjoy playing 5-a-side football and, in the summer, play cricket for the MCC (Mallards Cricket Club). I  choose not to own a car, but have three bicycles instead. I can regularly be seen cycling to and from work, ocassionally with one of my children on the back of my bike. To relax I like to tend to my organic fruit and vegetables on my allotment (The Good Life!). Having cycled up Alpe D'Huez and the Galibier this Summer, my next ambition is to cycle up the giant of Provence, Mont Ventoux.
