Amy is an Urban Designer and Planner, with 10 years’ experience working in the built environment sector, specialising in movement and public realm frameworks and strategies, and the design of streets and public spaces.
Amy’s strong understanding of the complexities, opportunities and interrelationships between movement and place, underpins all her work. This typically covers: town centre strategies and masterplans; street and public realm design manuals; walking and cycling network planning; neighbourhood strategies; and masterplanning, street design codes and transport strategies for sustainable, low-car residential-led development. Previously, Amy worked as an Urban Designer on the award-winning Mini-Holland Programme at London Borough of Waltham Forest, helping to transform the borough’s streets and public spaces to support and encourage everyday walking and cycling. Throughout her career, Amy has gained extensive experience of delivering walking and cycling schemes, from inception through to completion. Her design work covers segregated cycle schemes on major corridors and junctions as well as local high streets, linear parks and pocket parks, all the while balancing competing demands for space in our streets and creating an attractive stage for urban life to unfold. As a strong advocate for active and sustainable travel, Amy has played a pivotal role in building relationships with communities and businesses through devising and delivering engagement strategies and working with local politicians to overcome challenges and build consensus for schemes. | ||
