I’ve been in Paris this week for an OECD/Bloomberg Workshop on urban policy mobility. A highlight was visiting @brenttoderian.bsky.social exhibit From Paris to Belém. It’s been energising to see commitment from cities globally. The urgency of urban change underscored by the 41 degree heatwave! 🥵

Last week I was pleased to host a workshop on Spatialising Urban Crisis. It highlighted the strategies and challenges of navigating the current conjecture. So great to see and be part of such vibrant conversations! #ukri_flf Thanks to @lorettaclees.bsky.social @colinlorne.bsky.social + all!

I’ve got to wonder how many empty seats will Avanti have on their Manchester-London Thursday morning trains. £386.00 return for a two hour train is absolutely insane 😵💫 (in other news they’re one of the least reliable rail operators in Britain).

Last Thursday I was honoured to present some new work in the Economic Geography Seminar Series at Sapienza Università di Roma. I didn’t manage to get a photo of the talk or any of the gelato I ate, but it was great to return to the city after 20 years and see it again/anew. #UKRIFLF
