Utrecht, The Netherlands

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.

Hi all Tom here. I am based in Amsterdam since 2019. I live in the east of the city and spend my time enjoying the city, its parks and its people.

The book was an energy boost to help un learn so much of my previous education.
