Louise Crabtree is a research fellow in the University of Western Sydney's Urban Research Centre. She completed a PhD on urban sustainability, citizenship and housing in 2006. Her research now focuses on resilience in urban housing systems, particularly with regard to affordability, governance and sharing. She's excited by hybrid architectures that combine housing, work, food, care and play. She also has a slightly obsessive tendency to see everything in terms of exchange, embeddedness and porosity, for which she blames her undergrad ecology studies and tai chi.
