Very proud to present a new paper out in Environment and Planning A. I look at how real estate actors re-framed Lisbon as a viable investment destination in the post-crisis era, which today means the city has some of the highest housing costs in Europe. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

This week, I was in Sheffield for the WS on @valspacepower.bsky.social. Met many ECRs interested in how economic value is constructed, where it is located, and who captures it. Thanks to Callum Ward, @adamleaver.bsky.social, @richmgoulding.bsky.social and @eyeofraf.bsky.social for the organisation!

It was a pleasure to discuss Isaac Rose's book last night as part of @sheffieldurbanism.bsky.social Jan program. In my brief visits to Manchester the city center has felt so alienating to me. It turns out there are of course many historic and political reasons for this, which this book unpacks.
