He is certain that good urbanism puts people at its core, and that the path to creating successful, enjoyable, and functional cities, is one that shapes a city around its people and their culture. He consistently adds value to projects through ensuring the seamless integration of urban and landscape design with engineering - coupled with his ability to convincingly communicate the benefits of people-focused design to a wide range of audiences, from key decision-makers to the general public. His considerable breadth and depth of experience in the design of complex urban streets, public realm, and transport is demonstrated through his track record of developing innovative solutions for complex environmental, physical, economic, and social problems.
