Katrina Johnston-Zimmerman is an urban anthropologist. Want to know what that is? So did we! As an anthropologist, Katrina is curious about us – and why we behave the way we do in society and spaces. As an urbanist, she's passionate about our cities – and how we can make them better for us, mentally and physically. So she applies anthropological principles, research methods, and the lessons learned from our collective history to the present day, observing interactions between people and the built environment, in the spaces between buildings. This is what an urban anthropologist does. If you'd like to join me in my quest to rethink real estate, there are two simple things you can do.
