View from the balcony when I woke up this morning! Delighted to be visiting friends and family in the U.S. northeast.

Honored and delighted to be one of the 100 urbanists from around the world invited to share insights and experiences, thereby offering a critical yet hopeful perspective on contemporary urbanism and the future of cities. The full book is available here: bit.ly/4cBkmIB

#Paris is abound with special, and even sometimes magical, touches in #urbanism that extend far beyond the often rigid and formulaic design approaches in the #UK. Here in the courtyard of @SciencesPo, participants at the #aesop2024 conference gather for lunch. Image: Eli Karimnia

Part of the magic of #SacreCoeur is the people who congregate just for a moment and then move on with their lives. #Paris July 2024.

Bravo #España! #Wimbledon2024 🍓#Euro2024 👏👏👏

Please join us for a special session at #RGSIBG24 #RGSIBG2024 on #CoDesigningPublics: Radical Democracy and Transformative Urbanisms" on Thurs. Aug. 29, 2024 from 16:50 until 18:30 in Room 741, Blackett Building, Imperial College, South Kensington Campus, London SW7 2AZ.

Thank you James Chesire James Cheshire Annelys de Vet Annelys de Vet and Stephen Legg Stephenlegg for an extremely thoughtful and provocative opening session at #RGSIBG24. I highly recommend looking up their fascinating work!

The best scholarship is not only deeply critical and contributory but also profoundly human and even moving. A beautiful discussion with michele lancione and a panel about his book, For a Liberatory Politics of Home, organized by Colin McFarlane at #RGSIBG24 #RGSIBG2024. Bravo!

One of the best things about conferences is the constant opportunity to learn anew. As a long-time comparative urbanist, I was curious about the #RGSIBG24 sessions entitled "Comparing Digital Digitalizations." Highly informative presentation on "comparative platform urbanisms"!

Proud of my student, Roan Kitto at Welsh School of Architecture, whose studio project "Stokes Craft"--created in partnership with Stokes Croft Land Trust in #Bristol--was selected for publication in the international design magazine @Dezeen. Bravo, Roan, for crafting such elegance! bit.ly/3Zsqcsz

On Tues., Nov. 5, 2024 at 12:30 pm, I’ll be at the University Illinois in Chicago to present work I have been doing through an international network of scholars, practitioners, and activists. The talk is open to the public, so I hope you can join us! bit.ly/4eXjuiK

Hello, #Chicago!

Looking forward to speaking at Sheffield Architecture in Sheffield next week on “infrastructural ecologies”!

"There is no place on earth quite like India to re-arrange the furniture of the mind." I remember these words whenever I re-visit and re-discover #India, especially with my partner, who always brings a fresh perspective to all the amazing experiences we have. #MagicalMumbai!

This week has again showcased the brilliance of our Welsh School of Architecture students and colleagues! I worked with both 1st year and 2nd year M.Arch. students on their dissertation research, which was impressive for its depth and sophistication, under sage guidance from my great colleagues.

Thanks to my terrific guest reviewers, Kevin Hong AtkinsRéalis and Sam Goss Sam Goss, we had an excellent studio review at Welsh School of Architecture for our project on "Architecture of Urbanism: Land as Secret Weapon" for the amazing #StokesCroft area in #Bristol. Bravo to my students!

Great exhibition opening today! Lively crowd, wonderful poets, and a really nice vibe! Highly recommended!
