ABOUT
I’m a qualified architect and town planner, an urbanist, a writer and a thinker. I work freelance throughout the UK for major developers, communities, government, local authorities and NGO’s, advising and project managing. I believe that we are being forced to change our attitudes and values. I predict that the simpler, greener, low energy lifestyle will fast become the most desirable and the most economical way to live. Documenting that change and signalling how we might make it is the subject of this blog
