Welcome to Well-Placed, the design and innovation newsletter shining a light on the people, places and innovations - you guessed it - well-placed to future-proof the world we live in.
I’m Emily Wright, a real estate journalist who has been harbouring a career-long ambition to dedicate more time and attention to exploring the power of human-centred design. And so, voila…Well-Placed was born.
I have spent the past 20 years writing about the built world for titles including WIRED, GQ, The Spaces, The Evening Standard, The Times and The Telegraph and EG where I was tech editor and then head of content. Now head of content CREtech, I specialise in curating content and interviewing speakers from across the built world with a focus on innovation and sustainability.
Every role I have had and every title I have written for has given me a new perspective on spaces and places around us and, over the course of my career, I have been lucky enough to interview the people and explore the buildings, districts and cities at the forefront of innovative design and development. This has given me a unique vantage point and access to some of the greatest minds working towards building a better built world for us and future generations…and this is exactly the content I want to share with you here at Well-Placed.
