My research rests on 3 pillars: increasing housing supply, preserving affordability, and maximizing health outcomes. I translate this between contexts and across borders, breaking down divisions in the planning academy & the field

This feels like the perfect way to cope with the sadness of missing my travels and celebrating wrapping up a revision! I'm very much enjoying From Boom to Bubble by @soyrachelweber on the dynamics of overbuilding in urban real estate markets!

I'm researching how real estate speculators use forecasts & other calculative techniques to make future-oriented decisions. Turns out the speculators themselves are the crystal ball. @hgillers
