Sad to hear that Vanessa Watson left us, she was a giant in the field of urban planning, one whose innumerable contributions forced a different understanding of the profession and how it is approached/ practiced in the Global South. Huge loss of a genuine thought leader.

Vanessa Watson exemplified “thinking from the South,” rooting her theory & praxis in the postcolonial democratic futures that are being made in the cities willfully ignored by EuroAmerican urban studies. It was an honor to journey with her. Rest in Power, Vanessa.
