Let's talk





HI! 👋 I'M CHARLIE, A RESEARCHER AND URBAN-INSTIGATOR WORKING ON REGENERATIVE
LAND USE APPROACHES AND MORE COLLABORATIVE AND EMBODIED FORMS OF CITY-MAKING.


I LIVE IN BERLIN 🥨, BUT MOSTLY WORK ON PROJECTS IN DIGITAL SPACES.

My role over the past decade has been to build capacities within land-based
organisations, primarily around urban affordable housing and mechanisms for
holding land in the commons. I write about, and run workshops on, group
dynamics, decision-making, housing finance, incorporation approaches, legal
structures, stakeholder mapping, business planning, and visioning.

Over the years I’ve been involved in many highly credible, but ultimately
unsuccessful, land bids for alternative urban visions and these have taught me a
lot about what we’re up against. I’ve also been in a few that have succeeded! 🥳

This project experience has allowed me to develop expertise into long-term
governance vehicles for transitioning and managing commons assets such as
housing and other social goods.
