Research Interests
My research interests lie in unpacking the contradictions inherent in the use of neoliberal ideas to drive development policies and planning in the Global South. I am studying the master planning of Bonifacio Global City in Manila, Philippines. I am doing so through the lens of political economy, which looks at the intersections of power in money in shaping the material world. I approach this study with almost a decade of experience working as an urban planner in the private and public sector across Asia and Canada.
