Profile

Marc specialises in urban planning projects and works throughout the planning spectrum, from strategic urban planning to detailed statutory planning under the Resource Management Act. He is an ‘integrator’ in the sense that he understands the complexity of urban environments and can bring together the different disciplines required to produce successful urban development projects or policy outcomes.

He can interpret the issues facing urban areas in ways that enable successful community and stakeholder interaction. Marc has developed sound methodologies for use in urban planning, from analysis to options evaluation, to urban capacity analysis to communication and presentation of project outcomes.

The strength provided by the in-house capabilities of Boffa Miskell’s Digital Environment Services group in GIS (Geographic Information Systems) for city form and capacity modelling, preparation of visual simulations, and graphic presentation, adds resolution to Marc’s traditional urban planning skills.
