After the pandemic, what will we need to do to recover?
For the past year, I've been working on a book that explores how the lessons of past crises can inform our coming recovery.
In bookstores from 30 August, but you can pre-order a copy now.

How can city governments help to grow their tech sectors, even when they don't have a lot of money?
In this article for the @worldeconomicforum , I explore how cities can foster emerging industries such as climate tech, sports tech and digital games.

Retail data just released shows spending on dining and entertainment in the City of Melbourne has tripled since the end of Covid lockdowns. It's meant the city has recovered to enjoy one of the lowest retail vacancy rates in the country | @GeorgiaRSimpson

Writing is the principal means by which public servants communicate. Mastering the art of the briefing paper, report or letter will take you a surprisingly long way.
My thoughts on how public servants can approach the writing task.

I’ve just finished this great new book from the always impressive @sharathjeevan_
A short, insightful read that explores how we navigate critical moments in our careers.
Really looking forward to reading The Shortest History of Economics - the new book from @ALeighMP. Andrew has a huge brain and capacity to explain complex ideas in an engaging way, so I know this will be amazing.
Strange and surprising things happen when you write a book. It's been nearly four years since Solved was first published, but the book seems to have secured quite the fan base in Nigeria.
Such an honour to participate in the last ever episode of #thedrum - to explore the importance of hope in dark times.
This has been an incredible show, underpinned by an amazing group of journalists and production staff. It’s sad to see it go.
What do you hope for at year’s end – and where do you find it?
Beautiful piece by David Leser in @GoodWeekendMag

And this is the final panel! Chaired by Prof Jenny Lewis, panellists @lisagiven, Dr Kate Williams and Andrew Wear are discussing the future of research impact in Australia and directions for policy.
Australia's economic future hinges on cities and their knowledge industries.
Improving productivity in this context is less about transport and more about how cities support the generation, sharing and leveraging of knowledge.
