I am an urban development specialist from South Africa. I am passionate about working with like-minded people to contribute to the creation of cities that provide equal opportunities for all, while developing sustainably, within the planetary boundaries.

What really excites me about doughnut economics is the aim to tackle inequality while also dealing with climate change. It is difficult (potentially overwhelming) trying to deal with both pressing issues, and more often than not, they’re disconnected in implementation. I am excited about exploring the doughnut principles in more detail in the developing world/South African city context, where basic needs have not yet been met and poverty, inequality and unemployment are rife.
