Why now?
Cities are facing complex challenges – from climate adaptation to social inequality – but there is a growing need for reporting that highlights effective responses. Solutions journalism offers a way to do this without losing rigour or critical perspective.
Why me?
In September 2025, I completed trainer certification with the Solutions Journalism Network. I have also completed their basic training, taken part as both mentee and mentor, and published a number of solutions-focused stories on urban issues.
I regularly publish urban solutions journalism here and on my Substack.
Who is it for?
This session is open to anyone with an interest in cities and urban development, whether or not you work in the field. It will provide a foundation for telling stories about urban solutions and getting them published.
Places are limited, so please register early if you would like to take part. I’m looking forward to seeing you there!
