With Jacobs, he is helping lead and expand the company’s Cities & Places practice worldwide, with an emphasis on urban and suburban re-positioning, redevelopment and revitalisation. James has a deep understanding of cities as complex “systems of systems” in which all component elements are integral to strategy, planning, design, development, and operations. He promotes a comprehensive process, built on broad-based, interactive community engagement, looking to balance the physical development of the built and natural environments with sustainable economic growth and continual socio-cultural advancement. He has particular expertise in organising and managing complex regeneration projects, including those focusing on neighborhood revitalisation and the creation of walkable, bike-friendly, transit-oriented mixed-use environments. Recent work has emphasised the integration of data-informed geo-spatial technologies into planning and design, and a focus on “smart” cities and urban resilience.
