Urban Planner · Cities in Motion

Designing the connections that make cities thrive.

I shape resilient neighborhoods, walkable public realms and evidence-led growth strategies, turning fragmented urban systems into places people can navigate, share and belong to.

01 / The planner

Read the city as a living network.

My work sits between spatial strategy, public life and implementation, connecting policy decisions to what people experience on the street.

Good planning is less about drawing a perfect future and more about making the next useful connection visible. I combine spatial analysis, stakeholder insight and clear visual storytelling to help communities and decision-makers act with confidence.

02 / Expertise

From city-scale systems to street-scale moments.

01

Urban Strategy

Growth scenarios, land-use frameworks and development principles that balance capacity, character and long-term resilience.

02

Mobility & Streets

Network planning that links walking, cycling, transit and access into a legible public realm rather than isolated infrastructure.

03

Place & Public Life

Public-space strategies grounded in observation, inclusive engagement and the everyday rituals that give neighborhoods identity.

03 / Selected work

Plans that become places.

A small selection of strategy, mobility and public-realm work. Each project is framed around the connection it unlocks.

01 · District strategy

Riverloop Quarter: a 20-minute neighborhood framework

Rebalanced land use, active travel and civic anchors across a fast-growing river-edge district.

02 · Mobility

Green Spine Network

Connected 11 public destinations through a shaded walking and cycling framework.

03 · Public realm

Market Street Commons

Converted traffic-heavy edges into flexible spaces for commerce, shade and community life.

04 / Process

A practical flow from evidence to action.

Observe

Map movement, land use, climate exposure and the patterns people already create.

Connect

Bring communities, agencies and project teams around a shared spatial story.

Test

Use scenarios, street prototypes and measurable indicators to make trade-offs tangible.

Deliver

Translate the plan into clear priorities, phasing and implementation-ready guidance.
