Her research explores the Cultural Politics, Geopolitics, and Social Impacts of new master-planned Cities and Urban mega-developments in emerging economies. Dr. Moser is particularly interested in how new cities are strategies for nation-building and transitioning economies. She has published articles on new cities in Malaysia, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates and is currently co-editing The Research Handbook on Asian Cities (Edward Elgar, 2018) and working on a forthcoming book, The Atlas of New Cities.
