My passion is applying novel methods solving co-designed problems that make people and places healthier. This is based in applied transdisciplinary liveability research practice supporting evidence-informed policy and planning founded in trusted research partnerships with government, non-government and industry partners. The ultimate goal is to create liveable places that enhance health equity and create fairer and sustainable cities. Research value and impact drives my applied research interests along with a desire to clearly and simply communicate research findings that create community benefit. I have specific expertise in policy focused public health and urban planning research that is most simply described as liveability. This includes individual (subjective wellbeing) social, economic and environmental indicators based on quantitative, qualitative and applied spatial methodologies working collaboratively with all tiers of government and community.To learn more about measured liveability across 40,000 neighbourhoods of Australia, please visit the Australian Urban Observatory @ RMIT University (auo.org.au)
