Hello Readers. My name is Sam, I am a town planner and I sometimes write about town planning-related things (in my own time and as an expression of my own opinions). I have a town planning-related podcast (there is a link to that on this page somewhere) and I curate a WhatsApp Community for anybody interested in the fast-paced, ever-changing, rock and roll world of town and country planning (there is a link to that somewhere as well). You can also find me on Linktree (@samuel_stafford).
