Background

About Ajay Bailey

Passionate about creating sustainable and inclusive futures, I specialize in the intersection of (planetary) health, ageing, and inclusive cities. With a strong foundation in anthropology and demography, I bring a unique perspective to the challenges faced by rapidly urbanizing communities in the Global South. My regional expertise spans India, Bangladesh, Curaçao, and the Netherlands, where I focus on integrating human-centred approaches to health, urban infrastructures, and social equity. I have extensive experience managing research teams across countries, leveraging my excellent leadership skills to drive collaborative, cross-cultural initiatives. I am very interested in qualitative research, teaching, and capacity building of young researchers. My work ensures that cities grow in ways that are sustainable, inclusive, and resilient for all ages. I'm committed to driving innovative solutions that bridge the gap between demographic realities and environmental imperatives, contributing to a healthier planet and more just societies.
