For 15 years, Tim has pursued a deep and applied interest in the mechanics of globalisation and its ongoing political and economic implications for cities. Growing up in London and later studying in Bristol, Cambridge and Madrid, his doctoral studies zeroed in on the ways recent scientific models and conceptual innovations can help us understand and track processes of urban change. Today, back in London at The Business of Cities, Tim helps shape a unique set of optics with which to understand cities and competitiveness in the current cycle of globalisation.
