My work on ‘collective sustainability intelligence’ covers urban, environment, economy, technology and political systems, as leader of the Future-Proof Cities theme for the Manchester Urban Institute at the University of Manchester.
I have produced 2 landmark texts - the new ‘Deeper City: collective intelligence and the pathways from smart to wise’, and the previous ‘City-region 2020: Integrated planning for a sustainable environment’. I provide advice for policy and business from SAMI Consulting, along with reviews, evaluations, keynotes, training and capacity building events, in many countries.
I practice and promote visual thinking as the key to creative collaboration, foresight/futures and systems change. In 2020 I set up the Collaboratorium for collective intelligence, a global online community, exploring the pathways ‘from smart to wise’.

Dr Fouksman is a Lecturer/Assistant Professor at the Centre for Public Policy Research at King's College London. She is also a research associate of the University of Oxford and the University of the Witwatersrand. Liz's research focuses on understanding moral, social and cultural attachments to work and working. It looks at the impediment such attachments pose to new imaginaries of the future of labour and distribution in an increasingly automated world. In particular, Liz focuses on the ways the long-term unemployed in countries with high inequality and unempoyment rates think about links between time-use, work, and income. The research project looks to fieldwork in South Africa and Namibia to ask how such links challenge both proposals to expand social protection through means such as unconditional cash transfers, as well as more radical calls for the decommodification of labor via mechanisms such as a universal basic income guarantee and/or shorter working hours. Liz also does action-research with the global movement around universal basic income guarantees (UBI), and complements research in southern Africa with comparative case studies in the Global North.
