Grace Wright-Arora is a doctoral researcher at the University of Oxford and a friend of the REAL project, based in the Real Existing Degrowth circle. She works on water insecurity in Mexico City, and looking at public-private water funds as a case of “blue capitalism”, specifically studying the global financing in climate adaptation programmes in Latin American cities. She uses critical cartography to map alternative water infrastructures, often defended by women water activists, that co-exist along the mainstream in Mexico City, investigating how the concept of real existing degrowth travels in global periphery megacities.
