Spotlight on Christoph Lindner

This week we meet Christoph Lindner, Dean and Professor in Urban Studies at The Bartlett, who talks to us about his faculty's efforts to mobilise expertise to address climate change and his role in leading the initiative to create the Netherlands Institute for Cultural Analysis. What is your role and what does it involve?. I am Dean and Professor in Urban Studies at The Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment. The Bartlett is a wonderfully inventive and superbly talented community of scholars, practitioners, and students dedicated to radical thinking about human spaces and society. It is an exhilarating place to work, always buzzing with energy and new ideas. My job as a dean is to support all of this work and create the conditions needed for continued innovation. When I'm not doing that, I research and write on the interrelations between cities, globalization, and social-spatial inequalities (topics like gentrification, garbage, post-industrial ruins, and slow urbanism).
