Speaker Bio: Ludo Campbell-Reid is Manager of the Environmental Strategy & Policy Department, Auckland Council’s Centre of Environmental Excellence. Ludo areas of responsibility include urban design, heritage and environmental (air, land, water and coastal) issues for the region. As Auckland Council’s first ever Design Champion, Ludo is accountable for eradicating outdated policies, plans and rules, promoting the urban design agenda at all levels within the council and the wider community.
Ludo is an advocate for a “clutter free” city that favours the role of the pedestrian as the economic powerhouse of the city. He champions the introduction of “shared space” a cutting edge urban design concept pioneered in the Netherlands, which is based around understanding the psychology of space.
