I now include published author on matters as diverse as urban planning and planning reform, public transport, affordable housing, energy and water, and have a keen interest in social planning, economic development, renewables, social and community health. Each of these arenas of interest intersect with the other through public policy, planning and economic development law, public safety and health law, and the existing paradigms surrounding these public and private arenas are increasingly subject to technological and social disruption as individuals, communities, and enterprises (big and small) seek new ways of living across the globe. These are exciting times for the whole world and how we respond will be dependent on the nature of the society within which we, as individuals, live. Through careful analysis of issues and arguments my writing seeks to inform and challenge these established paradigms or seeks to help simplify complex matters that the world may wish to hear about. My writing builds on the knowledge, skills, experience and qualifications gained over my 30 + year career in business, project management, urban planning and consultancy.
