About Me

An urbanist and writer, I have fifteen years of political and economic journalism experience and now specialise in urban policy and communications. Formerly head of the economic service for The Associated Press in Paris and Bloomberg’s chief political reporter in France, I have covered a breadth of industry sectors and political issues working across the globe. Recently, I have focusing on London and West Africa in policy and communications roles for organisations including the Centre for London think tank, the Financial Times and the Town and Country Planning Association. I have an RTPI-accredited masters in spatial planning from the Bartlett (UCL), where I specialised in regeneration with a focus on London’s East End and the Olympic Park area. You can follow some of my thoughts and actions in the planning blog on the right hand side of this page.

A Tale of Tech City

The books have arrived! So exiting to see the fruit of almost a year's research, starting with my dissertation and continuing with the good folks of Centre for London, notably my co-authors Dr Max Nathan of LSE and Rob Whitehead, CfL's Deputy Director. You won't get to read it before Monday, when we launch the report with fanfare - alongside Deputy Mayor Kit Malthouse, Hackney Mayor Jules Pipe, Wired Editor-at-large and the PM's Tech City Ambassador Ben Hammersley, and entrepreneurs including Matt Biddulph, who coined the term Silicon Roundabout, and Sarah Wood from Unruly. Copies of this beautiful book will be available for free download at http://www.centreforlondon.co.uk/
