"I became interested in globalization dynamics and governance issues during my time in the Cities Programme, and on my return to Canada was appointed Policy Advisor to the Ontario Ministry of Public Infrastructure Renewal in Toronto. While my peers have a strong tendency and knowledge to look internationally for models and case studies for information and new ideas, I think learning in London about globalization and economic development really gave me a leg up - a more truly international perspective.  Even more important has been the ability to really look at issues in a cross-disciplinary way as taught by the Cities Programme; truly thinking about social segregation, urban development, and real sustainability, in the context of transportation and economy I think is proving quite powerful. My year in the Cities Programme was maybe the most significant single year of my student life."
