His projects are commissioned by central as well as local government planning agencies, housing corporations, resident and developer groups. He has received several grants from the Dutch Foundation for Architecture for his innovative studies in the development of new urban and suburban ways of life and the conditions of new public domain. These studies have resulted in many articles and several books. With Maarten Hajer he published In Search of New Public Domain.

In collaboration with architects and urban planners, new concepts were developed for the transformation of older city districts and postwar housing schemes, as well as new residential areas.
