Thinking about housing, food and cities
I think cities are important and want them to go well for people.
I sit on the board at the Academy of Urbanism and just finished studying city stuff at Oxford University.
Normally, I work on homelessness, startups and venture capital. Currently, I am in South America, researching urban food markets for a Churchill Fellowship.
