Anna’s background is in urban policy with a focus on fast-growing cities in developing and emerging countries, especially in Africa. She co-founded and coordinated the Nairobi-based Public Space Network (PSN), an association bringing together a diversity of stakeholders involved around public space management to facilitate public-private-people partnerships and ensure a sustainable management of public spaces across the city through fostering the community ownership of spaces. Under Anna’s leadership, PSN scaled up the international award-winning Changing Faces Competition from the neighborhood to the city-wide level, mobilizing 114 community groups to adopt and transform the same number of previously neglected and abused public spaces into clean, safe and productive community spaces. Currently Anna is travelling through West Africa, researching on how different African cities are affected by the fast urbanization. Anna graduated from Sciences Po University in Paris, with a masters in urban governance with specialization on African and Latin American cities, and bachelor degree in multidisciplinary social sciences with majors in African Studies and Development Economics. Anna speaks English, French, and studied Spanish and Portuguese for over 4 years.
