Graduate of BA in Urban Studies at The New School (2016) and MS in Urban Planning at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation (2018). My love for cities began when I lived in New York City, and experiencing metropolitan life for 6 years.

Cities are economic and cultural melting pots where great minds and innovation of all kinds call home.

According to the United Nations, 70% of the world’s population will live in cities in the year 2050. This means that tens of thousands of people will be moving into dense urban spaces, and everyone is going to need a place to live, a chance to make a living, and the ability to move around their city.

I created this blog to share my thoughts and experiences with cities, as well as to spread awareness of urban issues.
