As a co-founder of the Savills Tech Cities research programme, Nicky has been at the forefront of thinking and debate around cities and the built environment. In her current role as Director of Emerging Trends at Savills, she works with colleagues and collaborators to understand what will influence and define how we will live, work, learn and play. Her work has often involved understanding the synergies between physical and digital environments, and she is particularly interested in the world of gaming, e-sports and immersive entertainment as a catalyst for creativity. A former Barrister and broadcaster, Nicky is currently excited to be developing a new series of podcasts exploring what  the best version of a city might look like.
