Planning and designing cities came naturally to Jason. From his early work in environmental advocacy, the connection between environmental sustainability and the way we design and build cities intrigued him. This ultimately led him into the profession of urban planning. For Jason, city building begins with seeing how all the elements—from public art to public space to public transit—come together to create great urban places.
As the leader for our Urban Places sector in Canada, Jason brings together planners, urban designers, architects, engineers, and landscape architects to help our clients solve complex urban challenges. With more than two decades of city planning experience, he’s led multiple award-winning projects across Canada and internationally. Prior to joining us, Jason served as the General Manager for the City of Hamilton’s Planning and Economic Development Department where he led a multidisciplinary team of over 800 staff across multiple divisions.
When Jason isn’t working to improve cities, he’s traveling to enjoy them. He’s visited over 200 cities in over 50 countries around the world.
