Georgia White

Georgia's research is centred around housing struggles and international development policy, for which she draws upon international practice-based experience. Her current focus is on methods with which to facilitate knowledge exchange between diverse stakeholders, in order to compare hyper-local perspectives on global issues such as rapid urbanisation, housing politics and climate futures. Since 2018, Georgia has worked as a researcher in academia and in consultancy to various departments in UN-Habitat. Her PhD research, completed in 2024, focused on opportunities for localised, social collaboration in claim-making and design for alternative methods of affordable housing production in the domain of international development. Georgia's approach to research involves multi-national fieldwork, community collaboration, and working with large stakeholder networks.
