Imagining how we can create inclusive, resilient and sustainable places has been Isabel’s focus for the past 12 years. She has collaborated with governments, international organisations and private companies to create strategies that foster participation stimulate conversations and generate a sense of togetherness.

Now with the City Resilience Global programme of UN-Habitat, Isabel continues to search for ways to build synergies between policymakers, entrepreneurs, creatives, and firms to champion the best interests of every urban inhabitant.
