T7- Urban Design Roles

From our discussions last Thursday, it became very clear that the large and expanding web of masterplanning/ urban designing/ urbanism/ spatial planning involves many people with different skill sets. A few are listed below:

• Architect
• Planners
• MP's
• Highways
• Tree Officers
• Environment Agency Flooding dept
• Local residents (consultation)
• Landscape designers
• Private transport providers (Buses/ trains/ taxi's/ aeroplanes)
• NHS
• Private service providers (water/ sewage/ electricity/ gas/ telephone/ internet)
• Emergency services (fire/ police/ ambulances)
• Sustainability consultant
• Biodiversity surveyors
• Building Surveyors
• Quantity Surveyors
• Contractors
• Developers
• Place makers

I think this list could be never ending.
