Abstract

A year ago this week, on the 4th January 2019, my wonderful friend and colleague Dr. Sandra Annunziata passed away suddenly leaving a baby daughter Elena and partner Francesco. This was, and is, a great loss not just to her close family and friends but also to critical urban studies. Sandra was (and indeed is) an inspiration to me - her infectious enthusiasm, strength, generosity, intellect, knowledge and lovely sociability.
