I had the pleasure to work with Lena in a series of research projects during our MSc in Urban Development Planning at the UCL in London. Lena is a very knowledgeable person and a real go-to personality. Her ability to lead group discussions and facilitate interesting dialogues among group members frequently helped to build a friendly and very efficient working atmosphere. She is a very hard-working person and is therefore a great addition to any professional team. I hope to cross paths with Lena again soon in order to continue some of our endless discussions on theory and practice in urban development.
