Christine Smallwood
Managing Director
Christine joined the Academy of Urbanism as Managing Director in July 2022. A French graduate, she lived and worked in Paris before settling in London with an architect. She has worked in the City, journalism and as a tour guide, run her own consultancy, written four books on Italian food and travel and been involved in food festivals from southern Italy to Wales.
Unsurprisingly, she is particularly interested in urban food, how we feed cities sustainably and, although her time as a waitress is long past, she relishes the buzzing restaurant and bar scene around the Academy’s Farringdon office.
