Since joining Publica in 2019, Charlie has worked on several research projects, including a report for the GLA that looks at improving opportunities for children’s independent mobility in London, as well as a literature review for Lendlease, which aimed to set out best-practice and design principles to combat social isolation and loneliness in Euston.

Charlie studied BA Geography at the University of Manchester, where he graduated with first class honours. On graduating from Manchester, Charlie received the Royal Geographical Society’s Social and Cultural Geography Research Group dissertation prize for his thesis “More-than-human Manchester”, which used theoretical analysis and image collaging to explore and speculate on how nature is physically and conceptually enrolled in, and excluded from, city-making.

In addition to his work at Publica, Charlie is studying a part-time master’s in Transport and City Planning at the Bartlett School of Planning. He is currently part of the Publica team developing a report looking at the urban design and strategic planning challenges for developing electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the Greater Bay Area of China.
