Passionate place-maker and advocate for a well-being economy.  I am a dedicated urbanist leading integrated approaches across issues such as climate change and biodiversity loss, health and social inequalities, and economic growth and productivity, to foster positive change in our cities and built environment.  My expertise lies in strategic spatial planning, fostering collaboration, and driving evidence-informed, design-led transformations that centralise sustainable practices. #strategicplanning     

Tauranga, New Zealand

I am a transport planner and systems thinker who is strongly committed to addressing our dependency on the private car. I have previously managed the local public transport network in Tauranga, and now work as an independent consultant providing advice to local and national government. I am working on a Transport Emissions Reduction Plan (TERP) in my local area and see Doughnut Economics as the foundation for this. Sustainable transport needs to work for the complex lifestyles that people lead and offer them compelling choices which means that cars become an unnecessary expense. Transport in inextricably linked with spatial planning - where we put things dictates how we get to them. Tauranga as a city is highly car-dependent, and I want to challenge the status quo which says we can't change.  

London

I'm an urban designer, planner and economist who is passionate about improving social integration, equity and inclusion in and through place. I work on the regeneration of Tottenham for London Borough of Haringey, building the capacity of local communities to co-design and co-deliver change they want to see.          

Vienna

I first came into contact with Doughnut Economics when I worked on my Bachelor thesis last year.  Currently I am living in Vienna doing my Master in Global Change and Sustainabilty.  I am curious about alternative economic pathways and want to engage myself more actively.

Zürich, Switzerland

Hello, I'm Myriam Best, welcome to my profile ! As a core team member of the Swiss Donut Economics Network, I am committed to making the doughnut a reality in Switzerland. My contribution focuses on advocacy, communication and consulting for public and private actors. A few words about my journey thus far ... The unfolding social, environmental and climate crises have led me to rethink my personal and professional aspirations. A slow and complex process, accelerated by motherhood in times of the gloomy outlook synthesised by the IPCC reports. 2022 was a pivotal year that took me back to university, 15 years after my first Master's degree! Guided by a burning need to dedicate my skills, time and energy to making the world a better, fairer and more livable place for all, I joined the Masters in Degrowth: Ecology, Economy and Politics at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. In doing so, I equipped myself with the best available knowledge on the causes of the social, environmental and climate crises, and delved into the discovery of post-growth economics and politics as a plausible way out of the polycrisis. More importantly, I joined an international network of committed change-makers! I am also a professional with 15 years of international corporate and client consulting experience in strategy, human resources, change management, digitalisation and organisational design. I have successfully led complex transformation programmes in international corporations and SMEs across a range of sectors. Former colleagues and clients praise my ability to make the complex accessible, to engage people of all backgrounds and to remain cool under pressure while keeping spirits high.  Happy to be in touch!
