Dan D.

I am a community planner who specialises in collaborative approaches to social change, community leadership and economic growth within urban contexts. I have 10 years of experience working in public engagement, project management and communications. I have worked in both the public and private sectors (international development, urban design practice, arts management) and developed strategies for public outreach, citizen-interest design and community governance. In the past few years I have worked on urban issues relating to affordable housing, healthy placemaking and community-led participation in urban planning. I have examined challenges to social cohesion and economic prosperity as they relate to the built environment in European and Asian cities.
