Who we are
Strategic Cities helps governments, practitioners and NGOs navigate complex conversations when changing streets, public space and transport. Our engagement approach reduces risk, and smoothes delivery.
Weâve worked internationally - in the UK, Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand - supporting our clients to deliver urban change that people understand, trust and embrace, and ultimately accept.
Led by Mark Ames, our approach is built on first-hand experience of community consultation, media management, strategic communications and engagement during contentious change.
