Global Head Cities, Mott MacDonald (Hong Kong)

Dr Anne Kerr leads Mott MacDonald’s Global Cities Initiative providing expertise in master-planning and development for national development and cross boundary strategies as well as plans for integrated developments (both new and redevelopment) for communities, landuse and transportation, innovative technologies, and resource management. The initiative is charged with futures thinking, policy setting and development of implementation strategies and business plans.

Of particular focus is the inclusion of UN SDG’s through project delivery.
