URBAN DESIGN, PLANNING AND REGENERATION
Hello! Thanks for visiting. I work in the field of urban design, architecture, regeneration and planning, and have over twenty years experience co-creating with communities. I can help you ensure that your plans and designs are inclusive, regenerative, shaped by the nuance of local context and driven by community aspiration. Scroll down to see previous projects, read published documents and testimonials. Collaborative strategies for change: I use a range of tried and trusted methods such as recording street interviews, setting up participatory workshops and activities, creating networks and holding public events. Each action research process is designed in response to the unique and specific requirements of your project. How can I help you? I am excited to work on schemes where there is a genuine commitment to design better places for people. I work with local authorities and part of place shaping teams. Scroll down to see examples. Please drop me a line if you would like to find out more. Public Practice alum and an RTPI woman of Influence. |
Jennie delivered an exceptional interdisciplinary piece of research into gender inclusive design. This project is trailblazing in drawing attention to this hugely important issue, in a locally specific way – with simple real world practical proposals that can lead to change that has tangible positive impacts on the lives of women in Tower Hamlets.’’ Natalya Palit, Plan-making Manager, Tower Hamlets.
‘’She's the kind of collaborator who sparks creativity, gives others the confidence to step forward and is able to have fun while engaging in what is fundamentally serious work. And, crucially, she gets the job done."
Simon Wicks, Planner Magazine
“Jennie ran a great project I produced called Peveril Gardens, in Southwark in London where her early work with audiences, in particular, residents was formative in the thinking of the project and its final form. Jennie is incredibly hardworking. She possesses impressive engagement skills, and works closely with communities. She is a true team player, and always fosters positive discussions and is a dedicated and knowledgeable person who I would comfortably recommend.” Aldo Rinaldi, Producer, Pevril Gardens
“Jennie carried out a highly consultative placemaking and spatial design exercise for Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, producing a compelling and inspiring book - Future Stories: Tales from BCP Future Lab. With flair and conviction Jennie showed how we can reimagine our town centres, putting people and culture at their heart, and how we could put this into practice.” Micheal Spender, Head of Culture, BCP Council.
