Urban strategy and planning
Cities will save us.
For the last decade I've been working with governments, nonprofits, and the private sector to create healthier, happier, and more equitable cities and towns.
I write plans and build policy approaches that respond to the public's vision for the places they love. We've adapted best practices from around the world to places large and small. And we've set paths for implementation that are measurable, accountable, and support the long-term well-being of places and people.
My approach is holistic and interdisciplinary, because sustainable places can't be created in a silo. We need collaborate, engage deeply with communities, and boldly rethink how our systems work.
