Kenneth Brodie

A creative and enthusiastic urban designer, Kenneth’s significant experience with consultants Gillespies, Roger Evans Associates and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill reflect his commitment and ability. With a masters in urban design, complemented by a degree in architecture and previous experience in traffic engineering, Kenneth has developed over many years a range of urban design and masterplanning projects for both public and private clients, from inception to implementation, in collaboration with co-professionals, stakeholders and local communities. Consequently, Kenneth has wide ranging presentation, consultation and engagement experience, from university lectures to community workshops with local residents and school children.

As a consultant, Kenneth has advised clients from ‘both sides of the fence’ – public sector bodies and private landowners and developers. This has given him the experience to see the development process from different viewpoints, a key negotiating skill as an urban designer. He also believes it is essential to take a positive co-operative approach in urban design and to have the ability to work across disciplines as a masterplanner.

After teaching urban design and architecture part-time at the University of Liverpool and working independently, Kenneth became an advisor to National Highways, managing their design panel and reviews, developing guidance and policy on good design and advising large scale national infrastructure projects. Kenneth has recently returned to consultancy and is an Associate Director in the Manchester office of Tetra Tech offering urban design and masterplanning services.
