Camilla Ween, Transport for London, Loeb Fellow 08 will talk about two major projects she is working on, the Upper Lea Valley Masterplan and White City Masterplan.
Camilla is an architect/planner working on large scale masterplans in London, advising the Mayor on behalf of Transport for London on the implications of land use planning. These are strategic growth areas, often large (up to 300 acres), all with complex constraints in terms of transport infrastructure, physical barriers, existing uses and the challenge of achieving mixed use development, that is sustainable and in conformity with London's spatial development plan, the London Plan.
Camilla is passionate about making cities that are sustainable, that have high quality public transport infrastructure including pedestrian and cycle networks and have public spaces that are conducive to citizenship and inclusive for all. This means a strong emphasis on high quality urban design, innovative solutions to water and waste management, food production and biodiversity, and new approaches to energy supply.
She is also engaged in sustainability issues in Ghana. Before joining TfL in 2001 she worked on promoting sustainable transport projects for London, and prior to that she worked for Eurotunnel and the National Trust, after 10 years in her own architectural practice.
