THE URBAN LOGIC TEAM
Urbanlogic’s strong in-house professional team is characterised by highly qualified professionals specialising in project management, land management, urban planning/urban design, urban regeneration, heritage conservation, climate change resilience, disaster risk management, governance/institutional development, and capacity building/training.
This wide-ranging experience is matched by long-standing working associations with other international and national consulting experts and companies in related disciplines, such as urban economics, urban finance, social development/poverty alleviation; social housing and gender policy/practice. This experience, coupled with that of our individual professional staff members, offers Clients a complete project team to suit the needs of any given circumstance.
Our close association with NAREE International further facilitates our ability to assemble and manage relatively high profile projects and to provide technical competence in essential support services, such as GIS systems development, project management and monitoring systems.
