#010 - Heather Alhadeff - City Planning Gooooooooooools

Nathan Koskovich, AIA sits down with Heather Alhadeff, City Planner and fellow ADC Board Member, at her apartment in the Castleberry Hill district of Atlanta to talk about city planning and the power of listening as a design skill, and the complexity of graphic design and communication.


Heather is an accomplished transportation planner with an emphasis on land use planning and urban design. Her public and private sector experience has enabled her to work on a range of project types, from traditional highway solutions to site-specific urban infill development. She is frequently involved in developing and implementing plans that support multi-modal options, improved functionality, and spur economic Development.

Her passion lies in resolving complex urban challenges through logical implementation and creating constituent consensus. She is often the liaison between engineers, designers, the real estate community, and the public. She translates technical analysis into meaningful, understandable formats that foster buy-in and accelerate implementation.

As Ian Darke says, it's incredible.
