Benedikt Stranak is a researcher in our Local Economies Unit, where he focuses on spatial inequality in the UK and the policies and practices that can help to reduce it. Before joining NEF, he worked as a researcher at a urbanism and architecture studio, delivering research and consultancy projects focused on workspace planning and community and cultural infrastructure.

Benedikt has experience in both qualitative and quantitative research methods. He holds an MSc in Regional and Urban Planning Studies from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and a BSc in Political Science and Economics with Data Science from University College London (UCL).

NEF aims to create a new economy that works for people and within environmental limits. We are guided by three missions:

A new social settlement
To ensure people are paid well, have more time off to spend with their families, and have access to the things we all need for a decent life.

A Green New Deal
A plan for government-led investment to reduce the carbon we emit and boost nature, while creating a new generation of jobs.

The democratic economy
To devolve state power and transform ownership of the economy to give everyone an equal stake in the places where we live and work.
