Since November, I’ve worked for Next City as an urban affairs correspondent, covering Phnom Penh for their “Resilient Cities” column.” Stories include a look at the communities living atop Phnom Penh’s sewage lakes, a taste of the city’s world-class tap water, an interview with legendary Cambodian architect Vann Molyvann, and a day on the water with Cham Muslim boat people. You can read all of my Next City stories here. A few favourites are listed below.
