Andrew lives in Cape Town and is the Chief Executive of the Cape Town Partnership, a public-private partnership coordinating the regeneration of the Cape Town Central City for the past ten years. He has been involved in city development issues in one way or another for the past 30 years, from opposing the forced removal of Crossroads residents under Apartheid in Cape Town in 1978 to helping to write the local government chapter in South Africa's new Constitution in 1995 to the formation of the South African Cities Network in 2002 to OECD post-conflict urban missions in Belfast and Derry in Northern Ireland

I love cities - their sounds, smells, colours, vistas, the histories and memories built into their walls and streets, the constantly changing streetscapes and skylines. In particular, I love cities that work well for their citizens.
