Judy has over twenty-five years of professional activity in the built environment as: a design architect; leading a team of professionals delivering city-wide solutions for the urban environment; and integrating sustainability into curriculum, design practice and business solutions. Judy's research addresses issues of corporate and social responsibility in the delivery of urban and social infrastructure. Judy brings a focus on meta-research and evaluation frameworks to better leverage research to achieve practical outcomes for both the urban environment and its residents.
