About

Hello. My name is Max Nathan, and I work on urban policy at the London School of Economics. I’m a Research Fellow at LSE’s Spatial Economics Research Centre and LSE Cities. I completed an urban policy and spatial economics PhD in the Geography Department in Autumn 2011.

I helped found the Centre for Cities think tank, and sit on the Centre’s Research Advisory Board. I’m an Associate of the Centre for London at Demos, and an Associate Fellow at the Institute for Public Policy Research.

I’ve also worked at the Department of Communities and Local Government as an external Policy Adviser, covering issues like localism, regeneration, innovation and economic development.

My LSE academic site is here, where you can find my research agenda, publications, CV and so on.  You can email me here, and follow me on Twitter here.

I also do some photography. There’s a gallery here, and you can buy some of the pictures here at Getty Images.
