Back to SearchAndrew Parker has rejoined leading global professional services company GHD as it grows its urban planning and design team in the UAE.
Andrew has more than 20 years of experience in the planning and design of large-scale urban developments in the Middle East, Australia and Europe. As a Principal Urban Planner at GHD from 2007 to 2013, Andrew has worked on some of the Middle East’s most exciting and iconic projects, including the Khalifa Industrial Zone, which GHD masterplanned in 2007.
“This is an exciting time to be rejoining GHD and returning to UAE. Our team is currently involved in a number of high-profile residential, industrial and tourism masterplanning projects. We are looking to grow our business further to support client projects across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the northern Emirates,” Andrew says.
“There is always a gap between a plan and the reality. In the UAE, clients are more sophisticated than ever, seeking plans that are implementable, sustainable and profitable. Our planning work is complemented by our comprehensive range of services as we take clients on the journey from vision to reality.”
Warwick Hatfull, GHD’s Manager of Urban Planning & Design in the UAE, says, “Andrew’s experience and wealth of knowledge will assist the team in delivering technical excellence by creating environmentally, socially and economically viable developments that meet and exceed client and community expectations, and most importantly improve the quality of life for workers and residents”.
GHD has been operating continuously in the UAE since 2000, and employs approximately 130 people in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
