SHAPING PEOPLE-FIRST URBAN ECOSYSTEMS

A new perspective
on urban design

About

Anurag Panda

As an architect-turned-urban designer, I see cities as living, breathing ecosystems where good design puts people first, not just infrastructure. With my Master’s in Urban Design from the University of Toronto and a strong background in architecture and interior design, I’m passionate about tackling today’s critical urban issues, from improving walkability and air quality to designing inclusive, welcoming public spaces, as well as focusing on site redevelopment, adaptive reuse, community revitalization and engagement, and economic development. At the core, my goal is to support communities in revitalizing places sustainably, equitably, and in ways that strengthen both economic opportunity and quality of life.

I believe cities should feel alive, with streets that invite you to walk, connect, and feel at home. My work is about shaping spaces that welcome people in and make everyday journeys meaningful. If you care about urban rooms and walkable places, you’ll feel right at home here.
