Bringing City People Together to work in allyship to create a more inclusive, supportive, and vibrant urban community. 

 

Hey there, urban adventurers! Welcome to City Allies— home to "City People Tales: Chronicles of Urban Life", "CityWorkers Barometer" and "CityResidents Barometer", and the ultimate hub for City people to come together, have a blast, and make a difference in the heart of London.

​

At City Allies, I'm embarking on an ethnographic journey—a deep dive into the lives, experiences, and stories of the City of London's workers and residents. Through surveys, interviews, and observations, I'm collecting rich, qualitative and quantitative data that unveils the intricate tapestry of our City community.

​

This isn't just for anyone. It's for the curious, the adventurous, and the passionate—those ready to peel back the layers of urban life and discover the City people's stories that pulse through the streets of the heart of London. Whether you're a worker grinding through the day, a resident soaking in the City's vibes, or simply a storyteller at heart, this initiative offers you the unique opportunity to become a part of a larger narrative.

But what's in it for you? Beyond the thrill of exploration and discovery, you're getting a front-row seat to exploring and shaping the real heartbeat of the City—the lives, joys, and challenges of its workers and residents. Diving into this journey with me means we're going beyond the mere facade of the City of London's bustling streets. 

​

Grab the chance to etch your name into the grand saga of the City of London. Make your tale resonate throughout the City. Inspire the next generation of City workers and residents to step into the City with enthusiasm and confidence by showing them the human side of the City of London.

​

As a token of my appreciation, participants will receive a copy of "City People Tales: Chronicles of Urban Life" if they wish so, allowing you to keep a piece of the project with you forever. It's not just about being part of the project. It's about holding the very essence of it in your hands, sharing it with friends and family, and revisiting the stories that moved you. This project is made possible by my personal funds, so I can only promise 500 hard copies, which will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis. The digital version will be made available to all participants.

​

This project is my personal invitation to you, to explore the City not as mere observers but as storytellers and listeners, unraveling the narratives that make the City of London what it is. It's about connecting through the power of stories, understanding the lives that pulse within this urban landscape.

​

Participation means you're not just a resident or a worker; you're a changemaker, a storyteller, and a vital piece of the City's evolving story. Plus, it's a fantastic way to connect with like-minded individuals, expand your network, and enjoy unique experiences that only a project like this can offer.
