I am a doctoral student at the Centre for Policy Modelling, Manchester Metropolitan University. My current work revolves around modelling (as in agent-based modelling) certain economic and social dynamics of urban areas. I am particularly interested in exploring the impact of processes of capital valorisation – such as property investment – on the spatial and cultural configuration of cities.
Update 2016
I am currently working with the fine folks of LADEST Lab, University of Siena, Italy
Along with colleagues in Siena I prepared a report on the dynamics and impact of Airbnb in several Italian cities. A few excerpts are on LADEST website:
The report is going to be presented at AESOP17 later in July. However it generated some interest in the international press. Here’s my interview with the Telegraph and Cristina Capineri and Antonello Romano’s with the Times
Update: The report is now online at http://ladestlab.it/maps/73/the-airification-of-cities-report
