York was the place that gave me the foundational understanding of housing, social justice and the social systems that craft society. It was crucial in the enhancement of my critical thinking skills and was the place that really allowed me to understand how society and cities developed the way that they did, how policy is crafted and how I can have an impact on city building and contributing to the shaping of society.
