ABOUT ME

Urban planning is a profession that requires a lot of traveling and meeting people if you want to improve. This may not seem crystal clear without an explanation, so I wrote one down:

Urban planning is much about understanding systems and, if you are good at it, make them better. I work a lot with how you could build societies where people people can be happy with the least impact on the environment. In extension cities are the people who exist within it's boarders. So to understand cities, you need to understand the people using the systems. Gaining understanding of people is easiest done by meeting them in real life, and talk. Which requires traveling and sometimes sleeping on their couches.

Also traveling is quite fun.

At the moment I'm living in a collective in Göteborg with my girlfriend and some of my best friends.
