About Carl Bray

Dr. Bray brings to heritage planning a unique blend of private and public sector experience, underlain by pioneering academic research. As a practising landscape architect, urban designer and planner, he is able to apply his qualifications in each discipline to work in multi-disciplinary teams. He has been able to successfully complete a wide variety of projects, for many different clients. As a professional who has worked in both as a civil servant and as a consultant, he understands development from both points of view. All of these aspects of his work allow him to achieve consensus amongst widely divergent participants in the planning and development process. And his academic research (into the individual and collective meanings and values people have for place) provides new ways of resolving contentious issues in managing change, whether in a small town or a large city.
