Andrew’s education in city and regional planning included concentrations
in urban design and transportation. His background
in digital media brings a unique perspective to his work as a
planner. He is particularly interested in how geographic information
systems (GIS) and other technologies can be used to better
inform planning projects and clearly present planning concepts.
At WRT, Andrew has led or assisted on several projects
by using GIS to create scenario models. He has also worked on
a number of projects that advance the planning and implementation
of green infrastructure. With Jonathan Barnett, Andrew has
led several studios at the University of Pennsylvania School of
Design focused on topics such as “Connecting for Global Competitiveness:
The Tampa Bay Central Florida Super Region”;
“Adaptation to Climate Change in the Delaware River Basin”
(2009 AICP Student Project Award Winner); and “An Alternative
Future: Florida in the 21st Century.”
“Andrew uses GIS-based models to help citizens
easily visualize and understand impacts of alternative
development patterns and other factors, such as sea level
rise.”
