An experienced project leader and urban planner, Steve has made a career out of finding solutions to complex urban problems by combining public and private sector expertise. He has a strong interest in finding practical ways to implement policy initiatives through urban development and understands the important interface between government and the private sector which allows policy ideas to “hit the ground” and become real.
