Kathryn is the Chief of Design at the London Legacy Development Corporation and urban designer with over 25 years of experience working on a variety of projects. Prior to this appointment she was Director of Urban Design at PLP Architecture.
Kathryn has worked on a range of masterplanning and urban regeneration projects in the US, Europe, the Middle East and the UK. They include projects in sensitive heritage contexts such as the Somerset House masterplan and courtyard redesign in London, and a masterplan for the redevelopment of Covent Garden in London’s West End. She has lead numerous regeneration projects on former industrial sites including the development of a 15 ha riverside site in Moscow, the redevelopment of a 80 ha industrial site outside Paris, Le Parc des Portes de Paris, and a mixed-use masterplan framework for Convoys Wharf, London, a brownfield site on the River Thames, and a masterplan for a 32ha disused brownfield site in Prague. She has worked in complex urban environments such as Victoria Transport Interchange – a landmark development that will transform the way people work, live and shop in the heart of Westminster, London and a masterplan providing the redevelopment of a 1960s social housing estate in the east end of London.
Kathryn has also been involved in highly topical research projects that inform both the practice of urban design and associated policy. These include a study of the spatial and social dynamics of streets in smaller cities and towns, and a study looking at urban density and how it affects neighbourhood perception.
Originally from Toronto, Canada, where she attained her Bachelor of Architecture and subsequently practiced, Kathryn then went on to do a Masters of Architecture in Urban Design at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design (GSD). Kathryn has taught at several universities in Canada and the US, including the GSD, Rhode Island School of Design and the University of Toronto. More recently she ran the MSc City Design and Social Science in the London School of Economic Cities Programme for 6 years.”
